MIA AND CAIUS HAVE travelled to 67 countries. They have flown in hot-air balloons in Turkey, abseiled down cliffs in Malta and snorkelled the world’s second largest barrier reef in Belize. What they have not done is explore their home country, Australia. Here they are, finally coming full circle to explore home. I adore the love these two share for travel, adventure and each other.
Here Mia, aged nine, is helping her eight-year-old brother into his snorkel gear (pictured above right). They are sitting in the Pacific Ocean, wetsuits on, goggles on... but flippers are tricky.
Right after this photo, in they jump, straight off the ledge into the Great Barrier Reef Mia and Caius have no fear. Caius is a little uncertain about a giant fish, but soon realises it is only looking for people with food and swims right past. Both their heads bob into the water and they go exploring. They don’t wait for me, their mum, who’s scared the water is too cold.
