Great Barrier Reef
GREAT BARRIER REEF FROM PORT DOUGLAS AUSTRALIA
The Great Barrier Reef was world heritage listed in 1981 and is the
largest structure on Earth made by living organisms. It extends more than
2,000km from just south of the Tropic of Capricorn off Queensland's
central coast, north to the coastal waters of Papua New Guinea.
It has the world's largest collection of coral reefs, some 3,400 - 4000
types of coral, 1,500 species of fish and 4,000 types of mollusc. Most of
the reef is around two million years old with the oldest sections dated at
18 million years old.
The Great Barrier Reef stretches along the entire Queensland coastline
covering several regions and the state's warm sub-tropical climate means
you can dive and snorkel all year round. You could dive or snorkel on the
world's largest marine park every day for the rest of your life and still
not see it all.
Port Douglas Australia is in the enviable position of being within an
hour's cruise to the Great Barrier Reef and if you so desire another 30
minutes to the outer reef. Boats depart daily from Port Douglas Marina
Mirage and offer a variety of tours of the Great Barrier Reef. Diving,
snorkelling, fishing, sailing or just cruising on the reef, it's all here
with the most incredible locations on the Great Barrier Reef. This is a
World Heritage Wonder you cannot miss.
