04/11/2006: "THE SWAIN REEFS ..... Gannet Cay; Coralita"
There isn't much land in The Swain Reefs - the largest expanse and maze on the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. This territory was the speciality of Capt. Wally Muller who was a commercial fisherman before he became the first owner of the world famous charter boat for divers.
The sand cay moves. Sometimes the weather station has been seen in the centre of the cay - here it is pictured on the very edge. Cyclones and storms occur often and especially between Christmas and April.
