Kangaroos and Great Barrier Reef
袋鼠与大堡礁
大堡礁在落潮时，部分的珊瑚礁露出水面形成珊瑚岛。在礁群与海岸之间是一条极方便的交通海路。风平浪静时，游船在此间通过，船下连绵不断的多彩、多形的珊瑚景色，就成为吸引世界各地游客来猎奇观赏的最佳海底奇观。1981年列入世界自然遗产名录。袋鼠原产于澳大利亚大陆和巴布亚新几内亚的部分地区。其中，有些种类为澳大利亚独有。

1认识袋鼠与大堡礁
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest reef system composed of over 2，900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2，600 kilometres （1，600 mi） over an area of approximately 344，400 square kilometres （133，000 sq mi）。 The reef is located in the Coral Sea， off the coast of Queensland in north－east Australia。
The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world’s biggest single structure made by living organisms。 This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms， known as coral polyps。 This reef supports a wide diversity of life， and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981。 CNN labeled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world。 The Queensland National Trust named it a state icon of Queensland。
A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park， which helps to limit the impact of human use， such as fishing and tourism。 Other environmental pressures on the reef and its ecosystem include runoff， climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching， and cyclic population outbreaks of the crown－of－thorns starfish。
The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and used by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples， and is an important part of local groups’ cultures and spirituality。 The reef is a very popular destination for tourists， especially in the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns regions。 Tourism is an important economic activity for the region， generating 1 billion per year。
The Great Barrier Reef is a distinct feature of the East Australian Cordillera division。 It includes the smaller Murray Islands。It reaches from Torres Strait （between Bramble Cay， its northernmost island， and the south coast of Papua New Guinea） in the north to the unnamed passage between Lady Elliot Island （its southernmost island） and Fraser Island in the south。 Lady Elliot Island is located 1，915 km （1，190 mi） southeast of Bramble Cay as the crow flies。
