5. People didn’t have to build it because it’s a natural wonder. More people visit Australia and that makes more money for Australia. It is a good place to learn about fish.

6. Some things could be poisonous when you touch them. When tourists come to visit they leave their rubbish there and the reef gets polluted. If you go diving you could meet a shark, stingray or something bad. Some things could be poisonous when you touch them.
