About this site
The Edge lies within the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, in the vicinity of Cairns and Port Douglas, an area reached by day boats and liveaboards operating across the outer reef systems. The name suggests a drop-off or wall feature along one of the many reef structures in this stretch of the Coral Sea.
