The Seven Natural Wonders of the World: The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is located along the northeastern coast of Australia. It Spans more than 2000 km. The Great Barrier Reef is a home to thousands of species of plants and animals.
The Australian Government has designated this Reef as Marine Park. This Reef runs parallel to the Queensland coast.
The biological diversity of the reef can come in the imagination of very few people.
First we must have to realize the fact that the 2000 km long reef runs predominantly in the North-South direction, therefore it spans a wide range of climates.
In the northern islands rain, forests and mountains are predominant, while the southern islands are mainly comprises of Coral Cay.
The area has great value due to its environment. Apart from this a variety of activities including scuba diving, snorkeling, water sports, and bird watching are offered by this area to the visitors.
