Experience a land of great diversity where Aboriginal cultures blend with modern life, where the grandeur of the outback and magnificent rainforests strikingly contrast to breathtaking coastal regions and vibrant cities.
QUEENSLAND
The Great Barrier Reef, one of the true wonders of the world, is Queensland’s most famous attraction. But in this tropical paradise you’ll also find beautiful beaches, rainforests and wonderful national parks. Queensland’s Gold Coast is one of Australia’s most popular destinations, with 25 miles of golden beaches and Pacific Ocean surf. Its capital Brisbane is built along the banks of the Brisbane River and is a mix of the tropical, colonial and modern. A rambling city with a relaxed lifestyle, you will find many excellent restaurants, pubs, theatres and clubs. Gateway to Northern Queensland is Cairns, a bustling city surrounded by waterfalls, lush rainforest and beautiful palm fringed beaches. Port Douglas, 40 miles north of Cairns, is a picturesque resort and the closest gateway to the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef. Between the months of November and March, the presence of poisonous box jellyfish prohibits sea swimming and watersports offshore. Visits to the reef however, operate safely year round.
