0:00:02 > 0:00:04Smartphone apps can certainly come in handy while you're travelling,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06but could a new one help you join the fight
0:00:06 > 0:00:09against wildlife trafficking next time you're on holiday?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Coming up this week,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I'll be finding out how your holiday snaps
0:00:36 > 0:00:40could help protect endangered species like this little fellow.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Oh, wow! Well, you're looking pretty good for 50, sunshine.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45HE SINGS INDISTINCTLY
0:00:47 > 0:00:50We're in Cape Town where Afrikaans rock
0:00:50 > 0:00:53is lending a new rhythm to one of the city's suburbs.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Global guru Simon Calder
0:00:55 > 0:01:00plans a whirlwind trip through some of Europe's most historic locations.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03And we're up close with Malaysia's marine life
0:01:03 > 0:01:07trying to capture the perfect underwater photograph.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Sometimes it's better to shoot up,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11so you're going to be looking at the nice blue water.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hello and welcome to The Travel Show, this week coming from Sydney.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22It's one of the world's most iconic cities
0:01:22 > 0:01:24and it's also home to the Taronga Zoo,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27one of the biggest attractions for tourists.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Situated just across the water from the Sydney Opera House
0:01:34 > 0:01:39the 98-year-old Taronga Zoo is home to hundreds of species of animals.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48For the people here, this place offers
0:01:48 > 0:01:51the chance for an encounter with an exotic creature,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55but, for some, animals like these represent big business.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58The trade in rare animals and products
0:01:58 > 0:02:01has long posed a threat to endangered species,
0:02:01 > 0:02:06but the past decade has seen a surge in illegal wildlife trafficking.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09According to a recent report by the European Commission
0:02:09 > 0:02:14poaching of some iconic species has reached unprecedented levels.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18In 2013, over 1,000 rhinos were poached in South Africa alone,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21up from just 13 in 2007.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Much of this activity
0:02:23 > 0:02:26is carried out by well-organised criminal networks
0:02:26 > 0:02:29and the recent increase in activity
0:02:29 > 0:02:31has been largely driven by rising demand.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Rhinoceros horn for instance now fetches a higher price than gold.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Governments and international agencies
0:02:39 > 0:02:42are devoting hundreds of millions of dollars to combat the problem.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48In Malaysia and Hong Kong,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51large hauls of ivory have been publicly destroyed
0:02:51 > 0:02:53to discourage the trade.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Here at Taronga Zoo efforts are underway
0:02:58 > 0:03:00to bring a new army of recruits
0:03:00 > 0:03:03into the fight against trafficking - tourists.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05The zoo has launched a world first free app,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09created in concert with the wildlife trade monitoring network, TRAFFIC,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12which allows people travelling abroad
0:03:12 > 0:03:14to report on suspected illegal activity.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Wildlife crime hotlines are in regions all around world,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20but they're in different languages, they use different phone numbers
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and it's really hard to know who to report to,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25especially as a tourist when you're travelling around,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28so we thought why not use the technology available these days,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31get smartphones and turn them into wildlife trade reporting tools.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Just hit to make a report.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Tourists who see suspected wildlife crime,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38such as rare animals in a cage at a market
0:03:38 > 0:03:40or products like ivory being sold
0:03:40 > 0:03:44can take a photo with their phone and upload it via the app.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Then the information will be reviewed and referred to local enforcement agencies.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Is there a chance that a traveller could put themselves in danger
0:03:53 > 0:03:55by making a report against a poacher or trafficker?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58We're not asking travellers to take risks in reporting the app.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01We put a section in the app that gives lots of tips and suggestions
0:04:01 > 0:04:04on staying safe while making a report.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06As long as people are sensible and discreet,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09just take your phone when and if it's safe to do so and make a report.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10If you need to you can make a report
0:04:10 > 0:04:12when you get back to your hotel later that night.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21A prime example of how tourist involvement can make a difference
0:04:21 > 0:04:24is happily clambering around his enclosure in the zoo.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28This is Mr Hobbs, a sun bear who was spotted caged up
0:04:28 > 0:04:31at a restaurant in Cambodia in the mid-1990s.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33He was destined to become
0:04:33 > 0:04:36an ingredient in a local delicacy, bear paw soup,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38but a travelling Australian businessman made a report
0:04:38 > 0:04:41to a bear protection agency and he was rescued.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I cannot express my gratitude
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and just overwhelming sense of thanks, I suppose,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51to the businessman who did rescue Mr Hobbs,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54because every time I see Mr Hobbs and look at him
0:04:54 > 0:04:56it gives me goosebumps, I'm getting them now,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59just thinking about what was actually going happen to him.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02And it's not a unique case, it's something that is happening
0:05:02 > 0:05:05to a lot of bears over in Southeast Asia.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So, a happy ending for the beautiful bear here, but it just goes to show
0:05:08 > 0:05:12this one businessman made a difference for this animal's life.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Given how unique they are, it's perhaps not surprising
0:05:16 > 0:05:18that Australian animals are a target
0:05:18 > 0:05:21for traffickers of wildlife across the world.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28The country's reptiles, such as these blue-tongue lizards,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31are prized as pets across the world
0:05:31 > 0:05:33and have been smuggled out of the country in the post,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36in passenger luggage or, in one 2011 case,
0:05:36 > 0:05:41discovered at Australian customs in Perth stuffed into teddy bears.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Hello there. Hi, I'm Christa.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Australia's birdlife is also at risk.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53A black cockatoo like this one
0:05:53 > 0:05:56can fetch up to 20,000 on the illegal market.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- And how old is he?- He's close to 50.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- The old man of the bird shack. - Oh, wow!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Well, you're looking pretty good for 50, sunshine.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09Trading animal products to be used for souvenirs is also a problem.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13And the wildlife monitors at TRAFFIC say tourists can help prevent this
0:06:13 > 0:06:16by thoroughly checking the origins of what they buy.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Tourists can be part of the solution
0:06:18 > 0:06:21for some of these environmental challenges.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24But, on the other hand, unthinking consumption,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27buying the wrong things can certainly be part of the problem.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30And it may seem like you're just buying one item,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34"I'm not the one causing the problem, it's the organised criminals,"
0:06:34 > 0:06:36but actually that adds up, the more people who are involved.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So, yeah, it can also be part of the problem.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Tackling international wildlife trafficking is an enormous task,
0:06:46 > 0:06:47but the makers of this app
0:06:47 > 0:06:50hope a simple snap on a tourist's camera phone
0:06:50 > 0:06:53could help ensure the future of these incredible animals.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00If you want to find out some more about animal conservation
0:07:00 > 0:07:03around the world here are some Travel Show tips.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05SHUTTER CLICKS
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The giant panda is iconic in the world of wildlife protection
0:07:08 > 0:07:10and it's native to China.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16Chengdu's Giant Panda Base is home to around 100 of the bears.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19It also runs a research and breeding programme.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21They're most active in the morning,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23so if you're heading there, set your alarm early.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31If you're a fan of birds, head to Scotland
0:07:31 > 0:07:34to see the white-tailed eagles of Mull.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36The UK's largest bird of prey
0:07:36 > 0:07:40became extinct in the country during the 20th century,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43but sanctuaries have helped with their reintroduction.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50The Filipino tarsier is the world's oldest mammal
0:07:50 > 0:07:53and it's thought that only a few hundred remain.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57They're extremely shy creatures and don't survive well in captivity,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59but a sanctuary forest on the island of Bohol
0:07:59 > 0:08:04offers day and night treks where you might get lucky and see one.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You have to keep your eyes wide open, though.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08At only 16cm in height,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11tarsiers are also considered to be the world's smallest primate.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Finally, you don't have to go out into the wilderness
0:08:16 > 0:08:18to support conservation efforts.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Many zoos also carry out projects to protect endangered species.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27And if you prefer a wild night to a night in the wild,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Zoo Lates taking place in London and Edinburgh during the summer months
0:08:30 > 0:08:33offer evening entertainment, including live music,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36face painting and talks from the zookeepers.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Now for a bit of music.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50It might not be your first stop on a trip to Cape Town,
0:08:50 > 0:08:54but one of its more unglamorous suburbs is making a name for itself
0:08:54 > 0:08:57as a breeding ground for rock bands.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59We sent Raj along to the place that now calls itself
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Bellville Rock City.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04RAP MUSIC
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Welcome to a world known as Zef,
0:09:09 > 0:09:13popularised by this rap trio, Die Antwoord.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Once a demeaning term, now a number of groups have gathered under the Zef banner
0:09:18 > 0:09:22shaping a new identity for the younger Afrikaans-speaking generation.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24ROCK MUSIC PLAYS
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Like these high school mates in the four-piece Van Coke Kartel.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- We just play rock 'n' roll.- Yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42The only reason why we connected to Zef
0:09:42 > 0:09:45is because we come from Bellville originally,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47so it might be in the way I speak.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Even just the way I speak English, you know, with a more flat Afrikaans...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- What's the word?- Accent. - Accent. People will go...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It will all be related to that.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00We used to call that kind of people with mullets
0:10:00 > 0:10:02and, you know, driving old cars,
0:10:02 > 0:10:06not because of a style, it was cos they couldn't afford anything else.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10We used to talk about..."Those people are quite zef."
0:10:11 > 0:10:15The result is authentic Afrikaans rock,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19which Van Coke Kartel says rebels against the monotony of suburbia
0:10:19 > 0:10:21and the baggage of their history.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26And now, somewhat unbelievably, rock fans come from all over the country
0:10:26 > 0:10:30to pay homage to what they call Bellville Rock City.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Ultimately, like so much about South Africa today,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37this is all about an evolving sense of identity,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40where being African first is the key.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Where do you feel that you fit in? Is it now everyone's country in a sense?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Yeah, I think it's everyone's country.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I think...with us being Afrikaner...
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I actually never really liked that term,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10just because of the history with the name,
0:11:10 > 0:11:15I would rather call myself an Afrikaans-speaking South African.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20You've got the job. A new player.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Serious, I'm out of here. I'm going to go sleep. LAUGHTER
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Next, your weekly update from the world of travel.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31First, a reminder that your phone and laptop
0:11:31 > 0:11:34are going to need to be charged before you head to the airport
0:11:34 > 0:11:37if you're off to the States or to the UK in the near future.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Tighter security measures mean devices that won't switch on
0:11:40 > 0:11:43may not be allowed onto the aircraft.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47It's after new fears that terrorists are looking for fresh ways
0:11:47 > 0:11:48to attack passenger planes.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Hundreds of people saw the Channel Tunnel
0:11:52 > 0:11:55from a different perspective this week
0:11:55 > 0:11:58when a power fault brought their train to a halt under the sea.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Nearly 400 passengers were on board
0:12:00 > 0:12:03the stranded Eurotunnel shuttle service,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05which had to be evacuated.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06The delay meant six-hour waits
0:12:06 > 0:12:10for passengers at stations in London, Kent and Calais.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15YODELLING
0:12:18 > 0:12:21And where do you go if you want to see some really top-end yodelling?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Well, you could do worse
0:12:23 > 0:12:26than heading to the National Yodelling Festival in Switzerland.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30180,000 people turned up to this year's event in Davos
0:12:30 > 0:12:34to take in all manner of singing, flag throwing and alphorn blowing.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Here's an interesting yodelling fact.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It was invented by alpine shepherds
0:12:38 > 0:12:41as a way of communicating over long distances in the mountains.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Still to come on The Travel Show,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Joe Inwood's in Malaysia for an underwater photo shoot.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57We're going to be calmly approaching a subject
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and once we're in position...
0:13:00 > 0:13:03carefully taking a picture without scaring the fish away.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14The Travel Show, your essential guide wherever you're heading.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Welcome to the slice of the show
0:13:27 > 0:13:30that tries to make your travelling life easier.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Let's start with Thomas Kebede from Ethiopia,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37who has been invited to Europe this summer by a friend in Sweden.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Thomas, what a great opportunity!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I've been poring over maps and come up with an itinerary that follows
0:13:52 > 0:13:54as straight a line as possible
0:13:54 > 0:13:57through the heart of European history.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Start in Rome, Ethiopia's air gateway to Europe
0:14:01 > 0:14:03and the heartland of the continent's civilisation.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Head north to Venice, which is
0:14:05 > 0:14:08even more beautiful than the images suggest.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Then, over the Alps to Salzburg,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13a musical crucible protected by mountains.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Prague is the best example of a middle European capital
0:14:16 > 0:14:18unscathed by war.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Then, cross into Poland and make your way to Gdansk,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25a historic port which is also where the Solidarity movement began
0:14:25 > 0:14:28that led to the fall of the Iron Curtain.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29And finally, you can
0:14:29 > 0:14:34relax on the 19-hour ferry ride to the Swedish capital.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Next, Steve Holbrook is off to Bermuda.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Happily, I can, Steve, since I've been there recently,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53complete with a prepaid Travel Money Card.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56First, a reminder that even though Bermuda
0:14:56 > 0:14:58is as British as anywhere on the planet,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01the currency is tied to the US dollar at parity,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05and indeed, there is plenty of American cash in circulation.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Like many places,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Bermuda has moved away from accepting traveller's cheques,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12because although they were valuable in the last century,
0:15:12 > 0:15:16this millennium, they seem positively archaic.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20The 21st-century enhancement is the prepaid Travel Money Card,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24even more secure because it is PIN protected, easy to replace
0:15:24 > 0:15:26and able to be topped up online.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31And yes, you can use it in the many ATM cash machines in Bermuda.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Just make sure you load it well - the Atlantic archipelago is beautiful
0:15:36 > 0:15:40and fascinating, but also one of the most expensive places I've ever been!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Graham Hewitt is planning an adventurous visit to
0:15:43 > 0:15:45north-east Europe and wants to know...
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Graham, you certainly do need a visa in advance.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00For several years,
0:16:00 > 0:16:04the Russian authorities have been hinting about a visa-on-arrival
0:16:04 > 0:16:08scheme, but they won't give me any indication when it might happen.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Find a specialist agent who can help you organise a visa
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and find you somewhere to stay in Russia's beautiful former
0:16:15 > 0:16:19capital, St Petersburg, and the current capital, Moscow.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Once you've got your papers in order, the travel itself is straightforward.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27There are four express trains a day from Helsinki to St Petersburg,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29taking under four hours.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32That's all for now, but if you've got a travel question,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35from budget flights to luxury hotels, I'm here to help.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I'll do my best to help you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44From me, Simon Calder, bye for now and see you next time.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53To end this week, we're heading to the north-eastern coast of Malaysia,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56known for its tropical islands and vibrant coral reefs.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03We sent Joe Inward to try and get a close-up of the marine life
0:17:03 > 0:17:06that lies beneath the surface of the water.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09A holiday on Malaysia's Perhentian Islands
0:17:09 > 0:17:14is undoubtedly one you'll want to remember and, most likely, capture.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16But with some of the world's best diving,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19many of the most memorable moments and encounters
0:17:19 > 0:17:22will actually take place below the waves.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26And getting them on film is not as easy as you may think.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32The subject may be a fish or a nice piece of coral...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34And Dave Powell should know.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38He's been travelling the world taking underwater photographs for years
0:17:38 > 0:17:41and today will be teaching me the art.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Often divers come back after a dive
0:17:45 > 0:17:47thinking that they've captured something beautiful
0:17:47 > 0:17:51only to review the photos and be disappointed that they've ended up
0:17:51 > 0:17:54with what essentially is a blue mess.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58The first job is making sure the camera is safe from the water.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01An aluminium case does the job.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Then we close the door...and shut this. This keeps the water out.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Then I'm ready to go.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15For my trip, I'll be using full scuba gear
0:18:15 > 0:18:17and a top-of-the-range compact camera.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21But you don't need high-end equipment to take good photos.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24You don't have to be a diver, you can just be a snorkeler.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28A waterproof compact camera that is maybe a couple of hundred pounds
0:18:28 > 0:18:30will give you great results.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34We're heading out to a dive site just north of Pulau Besar,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37the larger of Malaysia's Perhentian Islands.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Although I can already dive,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47the first thing I notice
0:18:47 > 0:18:49is that as soon as I try and hold a camera in the water
0:18:49 > 0:18:52even the basics seem to become a challenge.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57When you're scuba diving, you want to maintain a nice neutral buoyancy,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59you don't want to be floating up
0:18:59 > 0:19:02or sinking so that you're going to crash into the bottom.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Which is what I seemed to spend most of my time doing.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07So Dave takes me back to basics.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Stay calm, use your breathing to maintain buoyancy.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Now that's under control, I've got a chance
0:19:21 > 0:19:24on getting the right angle for a perfect shot.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27We'll be shooting either horizontally...
0:19:27 > 0:19:32like this to give us a nice depth with a nice blue background,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34or sometimes it's better to shoot up,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36so you're going to be looking at the nice blue water.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38We won't be shooting down. Say, if this was a fish,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41you don't want to be taking a photograph of it like that
0:19:41 > 0:19:43cos it's never going to be distanced from the background
0:19:43 > 0:19:45and it creates a very messy image.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51As we practise, in the distance, a shark!
0:19:51 > 0:19:57Keep cool, keep still and the blacktip might approach.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Unfortunately, I decided to chase it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05It turns out the shark is quicker than me
0:20:05 > 0:20:09and my photo won't be winning any prizes at all.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Most people's reaction is to swim after it as fast as possible
0:20:13 > 0:20:14before it swims away,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17this just makes fish swim away quicker.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So we're going to be calmly approaching a subject
0:20:20 > 0:20:23and, once we're in position,
0:20:23 > 0:20:27carefully taking a picture without scaring the fish away.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Gradually I get the hang of it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Clownfish never leave their anemones.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Even I can't get this one wrong, right?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44The final and most important thing I need to remember
0:20:44 > 0:20:47is to protect the reef.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49So we always, always, always
0:20:49 > 0:20:52put the reef first and photography second. Yeah?
0:20:52 > 0:20:56As we will be getting quite low to shoot up...
0:20:56 > 0:21:00and we don't want to injure yourself or the reef.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Dave keeps an eye on me to make sure
0:21:03 > 0:21:06my fins don't crash into the precious and fragile reef.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Being close enough to the coral to take a good photo
0:21:09 > 0:21:13while keeping my unwieldy equipment and limbs
0:21:13 > 0:21:15away from the sea bed is difficult.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Finally, the sort of encounter I've been waiting for.
0:21:25 > 0:21:32A huge shoal of yellowtail snapper and hopefully a photo to be proud of.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36After a couple of days diving,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I might not be up there with the professionals,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42but I think some of our shots
0:21:42 > 0:21:47do capture the true beauty of this underwater world.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Well, that's it for this week.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Join us next time when we'll be sending Damian McGuinness to Poland
0:21:56 > 0:21:59to find out why some tourists are vandalising Auschwitz,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03the world's most infamous former Nazi concentration camp.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05When you have a wall like that
0:22:05 > 0:22:09the easy thing is just to write your name that you were there,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13but, in fact, people who do it, they destroy the authentic building.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17That's next week. In the meantime,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20don't forget you can keep up with us while we're out on the road
0:22:20 > 0:22:23in real-time by checking out our website and social media feeds.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Details are on the screen now.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27But for now, from me, Christa Larwood,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30and the rest of The Travel Show team here in Sydney, it's goodbye.
