Australia's luscious islands, cays and coral reef system of the Great Barrier Reef
are awesome in scope and visuals -- in fact, this
reef covers more of the world than any other entry on our list
(approximately 135,000 square miles; the only living thing visible from
outer space).
All who encounter even a small portion of this gorgeous giant are
dazzled by its aquamarine waters and honeycomb beaches. Even more beauty
awaits you
below the water surface: a maze of more than 2,900 spectacular coral
reefs and countless marine life. Come to this area just off the coast of
Queensland between June and October, so you can avoid the worst of
Australia's oppressive heat.
