About this audio guide
This guide to Moore Reef, out on the Great Barrier Reef off Cairns, follows the reef restoration project that turned a stretch of broken coral into one of the pontoon's quiet attractions. It traces how an idea born among divers rebuilding reef in Indonesia arrived here in two thousand and twenty, and the chocolate company, marine biologists, and Traditional Owners who took it on. You will also meet Wally, the pontoon's famously oversized resident wrasse.
