Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef lies along the east coast of Queensland, from the Gulf of Papua to Lady Elliot Island, a coral cay 100 km north-east of Bundaberg. It is administered by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (1975). The Authority has control of 345,400 sq km of marine park which, at its widest point, extends 400 km east of Mackay.
