Today our Virtual Adventure takes us to
The Great Barrier Reef.
A Natural Wonder of Australia
the reef itself is composed of over
2,900 individual coral reefs
and 900 Islands.
It is huge. I mean
really spectacularly huge.
It can be seen from Space.
113,000 sq. miles huge.
It is considered to be one
of the Seven Natural Wonders
in The World
It has been named
The State Icon of Queensland.
Some of the coral deposits
in this reef
date back
a half million years.
Tourism is the main business
with
The Whitsundays and The Cairns
being the main attractions given their mainland proximity.
