From the organiser
Guided by Traditional Owners and leading scientists, Life in the Great Barrier Reef is a breathtaking 360-degree virtual reality journey through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed marine park and neighbouring Wet Tropics rainforest.
Through world-first footage and powerful first-hand insights, encounter whales, manta rays, turtles and sharks, and explore the beauty, fragility and interconnectedness of this extraordinary ecosystem.
Discover how coral bleaching, extreme weather events and global pressures are reshaping the reef, alongside the critical work underway to help protect and restore it.
