One of Australia's most remarkable natural
gifts, the Great Barrier Reef is blessed with the stunning beauty of the
world's largest coral reef. The reef contains a large number of marine animals
and contains over 3000 river systems and coral cays as well as hundreds of
beautiful tropical islands with beautiful beaches full of sunshine.
Thanks to its natural beauty, the Great
Barrier Reef has become one of the world's most sought-after landscapes.

The Great Barrier Reef is undeniably one of
the world's most important natural resources. It is the world's largest natural
feature extending over 1,300 miles [2,300 km] northeast of Australia from the
northern tip of Queensland to the north of Bundaberg.
Although coral reefs have been around for more
than 500 million years, the Great Barrier Reef is relatively small compared to
500,000 years old, and this modern form is only 8000 years old, having grown
after the last years of ice. The Great Barrier Reef supports more than 1,500
species of fish, 400 species of corals, and 4,000 species of molluscs to name
just a few!
