Wow!!! 150 km in diameter!!!  And apparently is not the largest pumice raft ever spotted.

I  think it's incredible that when it reaches Australia it will be full of life... millions of individual corals full of life... mother nature never ceases to amaze me!

Yes, quite incredible how nature works. With so much concern over the future of the Great Barrier Reef due to climate change, I just wonder if this could have some positive implications.

The experts think so.... it will take a couple of years to see if it will have a positive impact.

From that video it looks like virtual reality or a computer game, like somebody has artificially copy/pasted another random material onto the sea surface! Surreal!

It could do wonderful things for the Australian coast, hope it will Smile
