FOUND IN QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system on earth. 

Travel through the heart of a busy and brightly coloured reef to meet our marine turtles. Count the colours and intricate structures of the coral and anemone. Journey through jellyfish swarms, bobbing gracefully in a slow, hypnotic dance. Watch brilliantly coloured fish chase each other through the reef, while anemones and tube worms wave their feathery arms in the current. Say g’day to the clownfish and bright yellow tangs. It’s hard to pick a favourite because every sea creature is so beautiful and interesting.

Koalas can be found all over Australia, including in our own capital territory! Get your passport out as your head up to Koala rooftop and stamp the ACT!
