Rolled into an underwater world of unbelievable beauty, the reef, its kaleidoscope of multicoloured corals and astonishing marine life are best explored by scuba diving and snorkelling. It is also surrounded by some 2,000 tiny islands, including the emerald green Whitsunday's with their blindingly white beaches and mountainous landscapes.
