Teachable Moments from Around the Globe Via Postcard

This postcard is a new one from our new friend Trish L. She writes: Hi Ya, This postcard is of the Great Barrier Reef. Facts:

1. It is the only living thing on earth that can be seen from outer space.
2. It is apart of the World Heritage Listing
3. It has over 2,900 reefs and around 940 islands.
4. It stretches 2,300 kms along the Queensland coastline (1800 miles).
5. The Reef is one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World.
6. Not all coral is hard, some are soft and spongy.
7. The reef starts just out from where I live.

I hope you like this card. Your Aussie Mate - Trish L.
