It runs mostly in a north-south direction and spans a wide range of climates. The Great Barrier Reef is the only natural organism that is visible from space! = Great Barrier Reef - Aquatic Life = Few peeps can imagine the wide range of animals, plants and fish that live in, on and around the reef.

Another frequent visitor to the reef is the elusive scuba-diving tourist.
