The Great Barrier Reef

World Heritage listed in 1981, the Great Barrier Reef continues to be the wonder of the world's biggest wonders, being the world's largest collection of coral reefs stretching for more than 2,000 km along the entire coastline of Queensland.
- World-heritage listed site, millions of years old
- Largest collection of coral reefs
- Divers' and snorkelers' paradise
- Largest living structure on the planet, visible from outer space
- Great diversity of marine life
From the south of The Tropic of Capricorn, the Reef spreads over a large area up to the coastal waters of Papua New Guinea. The sub-tropical climate of this region makes this a divers' paradise throughout the year. The Reef has several shallow areas which make it ideal for snorkelers too...all year round!
That's not all. There are many more superlatives that describe the Great Barrier Reef. It is the largest living structure on the planet made by living organisms, including around 3,400,400 types of coral, 1,500 species of fish, 4,000 types of mollusc and many, many more. Though most of the Reef is around two million years old, there are sections of it that date as far back as 18 million years!
