Australia by Experience: The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, is 345,000 square kilometers of clear, balmy waters filled with an array of amazing sea creatures, from sea slugs to migrating whales to coral’s that spawn on one night of the year in Spring.

The waters of the Great Barrier Reef provide the world's busiest and most varied marine habitats. It is the largest of the world’s 552 World Heritage Areas, and contains more than 2900-catalogued reefs in the area. The size of this natural phenomenon is truly amazing - more than half the size of Texas in the US.
