With a total of 19 UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites, Australia is home to some of the oldest rainforests on earth and hosts around one-third of the world's protected marine areas.

Visit the Wet Tropics of Queensland, which include the Daintree Rainforest; the Greater Blue Mountainsin New South Wales; the Northern Territory's Kakaduand Uluru/Kata Tjuta National Parks and Western Australia's Purnululu National Park in the Kimberley. Western Australia’s Ningaloo Coast has recently been inscribed on the World Heritage List for its natural beauty and biological diversity.
