Montgomery Reef
- Heritage listed
Covering an astounding 280 square kilometres, this reef seems to miraculously rise out of the sea – such is the size of its tides. Draining seawater pours continuously over the reef edge, particularly along the spectacular reef channel. Turtles, schools of surgeon-fish and reef egrets abound. Marine biologist Barry Wilson theorises that the reef has grown on top of a drowned sandstone mesa, making it truly one of a kind.
