Location Travel Tips

Queensland is Australia's second largest state measuring more than 1.72 million square kilometres, 25% of Australia's land mass, which is four times the size of Japan, nearly six times the size of the UK and more than twice the size of Texas in the US.

It is arguably the most ecologically diverse state in Australia, with arid inland cattle grazing environments contrasting sharply with world renowned natural landmarks such as the Daintree rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.

Major diving & snorkelling locations:
• Great Barrier Reef
• Heron Island
• Lady Elliot Island
• Liveaboards - Dive Charters to Coral Sea Islands and Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is a broad chain of around 2,900 individual reefs and is the Earth's largest structure built by living organisms. It is an incredible ecosystem of unsurpassed marine diversity and presents divers and snorkellers with a vision of natural beauty unmatched anywhere else in the world.

Beyond the continental shelf that harbors the Great Barrier Reef, lie the isolated reef systems and crystal clear waters of Australia's Coral Sea. This is home territory for huge schools of pelagic fish and sharks in an undersea world of mountains, pinnacles and sheer walls laced with gorgonian fans, rising from thousands of feet below.

The chains of islands in and around the reef provide further locations of interest for those looking for a tropical getaway as well as diving enthusiasts, including Heron and Lady Elliot Islands.
