The coral reefs of QLD Australia

The Great Barrier Reef has, for thousands of years, stood silent sentry over the clear blue waters and diverse marine life that dwell within its coral embrace. One of the seven wonders of the natural world, this magical underwater labyrinth will treat you to spectacular displays of nature found no where else in the world.

Stretching from Tropical North Queensland in the north to Central Queensland in the south, the rare, ancient beauty of the reef can be enjoyed from many different points of view.

On the Whitsundays you can dive amongst the coral on a scuba-diving adventure, or watch the reef come alive under the stars on a purpose-built pontoon.

From Townsville you can wonder at its beauty from the comfort of a glass-bottomed boat or get the bigger picture from the lofty height of a helicopter joy-flight.

On the Southern Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Mackay and Central Queensland you can take the kids snorkeling in a sheltered coral cay, or keep your clothes dry on a leisurely reef walk.

With so many ways to enjoy the spectacular reef, there’s sure to be one to suit you.
