The view from space

The Great Barrier Reef off the east coast of Australia is the only living organic thing visible from Space. It is one of the wonders of the natural world - it is the world's largest coral reef ecosystem.

The reef is scattered with beautiful islands and idyllic coral cays and covers more than 300,000 square kilometres. The Great Barrier Reef system consists of more than 3000 reefs which range in size from 1 hectare to over 10,000 hectares in area. There are more than 600 islands of the Great Barrier Reef, some of which contain great hotels for you to stay at.

    What an amazing place. I would love to go there with my wife to see all the fantastic sea life. I can see why it is one of the wonders of the natural world.
  • I would love to go visit the great Barrier Reef - my only concern is what the tourist market is doing to the viability of the reef - the reef needs to be cared for and looked after.

    The real question is... How many people have been eaten by sharks in the Great B reef? I think I would stick to a glass bottom boat and look at it from the surface!
