THE REEF
Located in the Coral Sea off the coast of Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef runs some 2600 kilometers along the coast, is longer than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space! The reef starts just off the coast of Bundaberg and stretches up to the tip of Cape York towards New Guinea running between 15 and 150 km off the coastline and up to 65 km wide.
It boasts over 400 species of coral, 200 different birds and over 1500 types of tropical fish. Back in 1770 Captain Cook sailed the entire length of the reef in his ship the Endeavour and spent six weeks repairing his ship in Cooktown after running aground on what is now known as Endeavour Reef. Now it was our turn to make history and be the first to windsurf in this pristine marine location.
