Discover the Great Barrier Reef - A Natural Wonder Awaits!
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most extraordinary natural wonders on our planet. Stretching over 2,300 kilometres along the coast of Queensland, this vast ecosystem is the largest coral reef system in the world, made up of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands. Visible even from space, it’s a dazzling underwater paradise that has captured the hearts of visitors and locals for generations.
How old is the Reef?
The Great Barrier Reef has been evolving for millions of years, with its current form estimated to be around 500,000 years old. The living reef we see today began forming around 8,000 years ago, following the last Ice Age. It’s home to an incredible array of marine life, including over 1,500 species of fish, 400 types of coral, and iconic creatures like sea turtles, reef sharks, and playful dolphins.
