Australia's Other Great Barrier Reef by Cameron Wilson

Ningaloo Marine Park. A world away from the heavy tourist traffic and battered reefs of the Queensland coast, Ningaloo Marine Park is situated off the remote north coast of Western Australia ? which means you have to want to get there. This still-isolated ocean paradise is home to countless astonishing sea critters, from turtles, sea-snakes and manta rays to nudibranchs and reef sharks. It?s also one of the few places where a procession of mighty whale sharks shows up reliably year after year, thrilling divers and snorkellers who come from all over the world to see them. Welcome to Australia?s other great barrier reef.
