It is deserving of its praises, with water surrounding the three sides of the structure with the Royal Botanic Gardens to its south.

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park was established in 1975 to help protect the fragile ecosystems in the area, which comprises more than 3,000 coral reefs, 600 continental islands, 300 coral cays, and inshore mangrove islands. This marine park is one of the planet’s largest living structures and also one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
During your summer break, you can dive and snorkel in the park where you can see captivating life underwater, which includes more than 1,600 tropical fish species, sharks, dolphins, rays, turtles, giant clams, and more. If you don’t want to get wet, you can observe the reef underwater through the glass bottom boats and underwater viewing stations.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Located in the heart of the Red Centre in Australia is the Uluru, which was formerly called the Ayers Rock. It is one of the country’s most photographed natural wonders due to its striking red monolith forms. The Uluru is the centerpiece of this national park which is considered a World Heritage Area and managed by the traditional landowners (the Aṉangu people) and the Parks Australia. The Kata Tjuta, on the other hand, are red dome-shaped rocks. It is a great place to see a transformation of colors in the shifting light of the Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
