Fish of the Great Barrier Reef by

A typical scene along the Great Barrier Reef, here captured near the Whitsunday Islands.

Yellowtail Fusilier (Caesio cuning) swim beneath a large school of smaller fish.

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest reef system. 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. The Reef is listed as a World Heritage Site.

Great Barrier Reef, QLD, Australia.

About Michael John

I live in Australia and enjoy bushwalking in the great outdoors, especially the world heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park.

My photographic interests are pretty much related to Australian landscapes, rustic Australia, historic Australia, Australian wildlife, flora, fauna, birds, etc. Guess I love the country I was born and live in.

Feel free to click on my portfolio, view more images, and leave a comment. You can also purchase a card, print, or calendar.

    Great capture with loads of activity !
    Did you dive, or go down in one of those “Yellow Submarines”?

  • Thanks Trish. I was out on the reef, and they had an underwater viewing area.
