During your visit, be on the lookout with a guide for the island’s namesake “dragon,” Varanus komodoensis. The world’s largest lizard, the Komodo dragon can grow up to ten feet long and weigh as much as 150 pounds. The creature is protected within Komodo National Park. A DAZZLING MARINE WONDERLAND. The world’s largest coral reef system, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef stretches some 133,000 square miles along the continent’s coast. This magnificent structure, a UNESCO Site, comprises about 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands. During your port call in Cairns, you may choose to venture out and witness its displays of vividly hued coral and abundant marine life up close. AUSTRALIA’S ABORIGINAL PAST. Located at Australia’s Top End, Darwin is the cultural hub of Australia’s thinly populated Northern Territory. Home to more Aboriginal Australians than any other city, its distinct culture and its arts and music scene have deep and pure roots in the continent’s precolonial past. These cherished traditions are preserved and celebrated at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.
