The Great Coral Reef

What about the remarkable coral reefs in Australia? Have you already seen them? Without a doubt you would like to come and see reefs and corals isn’t it?

What I find interesting about the Great Barrier Reef in Australia (the seven wonders of the natural world) is the amazing natural reef that contains an abundance of marine life and comprises over 3000 individual reef systems (between 15 kilometres and 150 kilometres off shore and around 65 km wide in some parts) and coral cays and literally hundreds of picturesque tropical islands with some of the worlds most beautiful sun-soaked, golden beaches. This is larger than the Great Wall of China that extends over 3000km or 1800 miles (parallel to the Queensland coast, from near the coastal town of Bundaberg, up past the tip of Cape York) and this is the only living thing on earth visible from space!

Because of the brilliant and vivid coral gardens (with more than 400 different kinds), coral sponges, mollusks, rays, dolphins, over 1500 species of tropical fish and around 20 types of reptiles including seas turtles and giant clams over 120 years old, most divers had the most spectacular underwater experienced imaginable!

If you love diving and watching underwater species, this is the best place you should go!
