World
Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reefs in Australia is one of the most sought
after tour destinations in the world and whosoever plans a trip to this side of
the globe definitely keep this place on the top of their tour itinerary. Made
up of 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands this coral reef system is the
biggest in the world covering an area of more than 344,400 square kilometres.
Located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland this iconic place is
considered to be one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the
Queensland National Trust has made it the state icon which speaks volumes about
its importance in terms of tourism in particular and the environment in
general. Though it has been compared to the Great Wall of China and is a known
fact that it can be seen clearly from the outer space; what is most fascinating
is that the reef structure is made up of billions of tiny organisms known as
the coral polyps. The Great Barrier Reef Vacation supports a huge variety of flora and
fauna which includes a number of endangered species including 1500 fish species
