Queensland

There’s no place in the world quite like Australia. And no place like Queensland to experience the very best of it.

Immerse yourself in Queensland’s natural wonders; watch the majestic humpback whales on their migration, see turtles lay their eggs and the hatchlings make their way out to see to start their lifetime journey, and take in the varied birdlife– from Cockatoos and Cuckoos to the iconic Cassowary.

Strolling along miles of golden sands; exploring the world's oldest surviving rainforest; discovering the underwater wonderland of the Great Barrier Reef; taking in the burnt umber colours of the rugged Outback: there aren't many places in the world where you can experience an iconic destination every single day. In Queensland it is as guaranteed as the sunshine.

Better still, en route you can tantalise your taste buds with the extraordinary array of delicious produce that these diverse environments offer. Dine on fresh seafood while you watch surfers tackle the waves on world-famous beaches; tuck into bush tucker as you listen to Dreamtime stories from an indigenous Rainforest guide or get a taste of the Tropical North with local mangoes, macadamias and much more.

The Gold Coast is ‘Famous For Fun’ and widely referred to by the Aussies as Australia’s playground. On the Gold Coast you’ll experience natural beauty, amazing beaches and world-class entertainment, all within easy reach of Brisbane’s International Airport and Gold Coast Airport.

Take advantage of the endless beaches dishing out wave after wave of perfect proportion and making the area much loved by surfers and beach goers alike. A trip along the vast coastline allows you to explore some of the world's best beaches from Surfer’s Paradise and Broadbeach in the north, to the more relaxed beaches of Burleigh and Currumbin in the south.

Packed with activities to keep travelers of all ages entertained, the Gold Coast offers Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, the infamous Wet ‘n Wild water park and DreamWorld to name a few.

If you’re in need of a break you’re also in luck. Half an hour inland from the coast, the Hinterland offers health retreats, serene beauty and bushwalking trails. Take a relaxing stroll through ancient landscapes and lush rainforests, all filled with unique Aussie wildlife. Get a taste of what Australia really has to offer with 100,000 hectares of National Parks and reserves to be explored.
