		The Great Barrier Reef follows the curve of Australia's east coast, from New Guinea in the north to Lady Elliot Island, off the coast of Bundaberg, in the south.
		The Great Barrier Reef is not a single reef, but thousands of individual reefs, shoals, atolls, coral cogs, and larger islands.
		A report commissioned by Greenpeace in 1999 says that much of the Great Barrier Reef will die within about 40 years unless action is taken to stop global warming, as corals in southern and central parts of the Great Barrier Reef are likely to be severely affected by increases in sea temperatures.

		The Great Hall is decorated here as it would have appeared in the time of "Turnspit" (1599).
		As a writer, it was far easier to look at a mansion from the correct time period that was mostly empty and use it as my fictional setting than to take a mansion that was still being lived in, one that had changed "styles" a dozen times over the centuries.
