The 5 Best Art Museums in Great Barrier Reef, Queensland
The world's largest coral reef system, the Great Barrier Reef stretches almost 1500 miles into the Pacific from the tip of Queensland. Designated a Marine Park by the Australian government and a World Heritage Area by UNESCO, the reef is home to an extraordinary abundance of species and habitats. Snorkeling, diving and fishing are rightly popular along the reef, nowhere more so than on the Whitsunday Islands, where the silica sands and aqua waters of the Coral Sea create the perfect beach escape.

I really enjoyed this art gallery, especially Mawurndjul’s art. A national treasure. Very will done, with barks, and video recordings. The Chinese history of the Yanf family and other Chinese families was very informative .
