The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest known coral formation in the world. Although the name suggests one reef, the Great Barrier Reef is a chain of more than 2,500 reefs. It extends about 1,200 miles along the eastern coast of Queensland from Cape York in the north to Bundaberg in the south. The chain of reefs forms a natural breakwater for the passage of ships along the coast.
