Queensland
The Sunshine State
Queensland, host to five of Australia’s eleven World Heritage listed areas, presents a diverse range of fascinating sights and experiences for you to behold!
From the red hot outback to the lush green rainforests of the Daintree, the idyllic palm fringed golden beaches on the cool blue coast, secluded tropical islands dotted throughout the living kaleidoscope of the Great Barrier Reef and of course, the colourful towns and people, tropical Queensland is the perfect holiday paradise!
The state of Queensland sits either side of the Tropic of Capricorn, which ensures that one of Queensland’s greatest attractions is its climate. It's a land of long warm summers and short cool winters. With a typical subtropical to tropical climate, the seasons are not as distinctive as in the cooler climates of Australia's southern States. Rainfall occurs mainly during summer months (December – March), with the highest falls recorded in the tropical north.
Australia’s Great Dividing Range forms a dramatic division down the east coast of beginning in Tropical North Queensland and running through New South Wales to Victoria, the Range comes closest to the coast in Queensland and sets the scene for some awe-inspiring views.
West of the Great Diving Range are the fertile tablelands, which contain some of Australia's most productive agricultural regions. Head further west of the tablelands and you’re into the vast "Australian Outback", lined with long roads and dotted with tiny towns, stretching all the way to the Simpson Desert and the Northern Territory.
Escape and experience the wonders of this state and you’ll find the old saying "Queensland beautiful one day, perfect the next" has never been more true!
