The Great Barrier Reef is one of Queensland main attractions.
One of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, this vast array of coral stretches is home to a stunning amount of wild marine life.
It is longer than the Great Wall of China and is the only living thing that can be seen from space.
It’s the perfect spot for diving, snorkelling, swimming, and kayaking.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone….
Additional Queensland natural highlights include the Daintree Rainforest and the Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park. A Wet Tropics World Heritage Site, the Daintree Rainforest boasts lush, green jungle scenery and incredible amount of biodiversity.
