Is the Great Barrier Reef worth going to if I don't care for diving?
It cost a lot of money to go to the Great Barrier Reef, and Australia in general, so I though I should do a cost-benefit analysis.
There are a lot more things to see in Australia besides the reef.
If you are wondering if you should go to Oz, at all, without going to the reef, the answer is YES.
See Sydney. Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. http://www.bridgeclimb.com/ See the Opera House. Wander down harbourside and visit the cafes.
Go to Melbourne. Go see the 'tiny penguin' parade on Phillip's Island. http://www.penguins.org.au/content.asp?pg=54
Go to Alice Springs and Ayers Rock in the outback. Take a 4-wheel adventure tour into the outback. Go to one of the beautiful beaches. Lots to do!
Now, if you don't dive, and you go to Cairns, or another city on the reef, try snorkeling, glass-bottom boating, deep sea fishing, jungle safari-ing, rafting, take a scenic fly-over, et-ce-ter-a! (The diving is the whip, though!)
Anyway, if you have the resources and the time, GO!
