Great Barrier Reef (the 'southern' Reefs or others would be better than the overused 'northern' Reef) see Reefmagic.com.au or .prodive.com.au orwavelength-reef.com.au, smaller snorkeling tours or quicksilver-cruises.com) and Kuranda Train and Skyrail. Wanted to go to Daintree (see their website)but the area is probably still in flood when I'll be there in March 2009. (BTW Aussies pronounce it 'cannes', sounds like Cannes France)
