Part two of two. Michael Portillo continues his exploration of Queensland, from the tropical rainforest to the Great Barrier Reef. At Mungalla Cattle Station, Michael joins the owner for a feast cooked underground, and after a sing-along at the Billabong, he makes tracks for Townsville and the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Pioneering photographs taken at the time of his Bradshaw's brought the corals to the world's attention and now two million people visit the reef annually
