Cairns
 The Great Barrier Reef
It was formed about 9,000 years ago after the last ice age. The coral can only grow below the water level
and therefore as the ice melted, the water level increased and the coral formed the reef. The Great Barrier Reef is the largest reef system in the world stretching for 1,250 miles and occupying an area of 135,000 square miles.
Port Douglas
It has become an international holiday mecca - just 70 kilometres north of Cairns. With nothing taller than a palm tree, development is low-rise, low-key and relaxing. It is regarded as the most popular base from which to explore the northern areas of the reef and rainforest coast of Daintree and Cape Tribulation.
