Renown as the ‘Sunshine State’, Queensland has a
coastline that stretches 4,350 km.
There are several large cities in Queensland offering access to all the attractions of
modern urban lifestyles. The capital is Brisbane,
with
Cairns and
Townsville up north,
the
Sunshine Coast, and
the popular Gold Coast in the
south. These cities of high rise resorts, hotels, motels, shopping, and
entertainment facilities including theme parks, have easy access to the coast
and beaches, some offering activities along rivers and lakes, or you can do a
self-drive exploring providing an easy way to get around, or better yet book on
a guided charter or tour.
Next door to the coast is of course the worlds most famous and worlds largest
living organism,
The Great
Barrier Reef spanning 2,000 km from the tip of
Cape York to
Gladstone in the
south. Make this the year to visit the reef, select your accommodation from our
listed destinations.
For those who want something different, head inland to experience the vast
outback, whether it is the wonderful
Overlander's Way,
a 1,550 km drive connecting
Townsville to
Tennant Creek or the very special
Dinosaur Trail,
where creatures that have been dead for over 100,000 million years are carefully
brought back to life, in some wonderful recreations of what they look like and
what life was like when outback Queensland was once covered by an Cretaceous
Inland Sea. You can even get involved, as more and more discoveries are made,
or head out to some of the designated places to do your own fossil fossicking.
For those planning a visit to Cape York, drop into the
Mount Carbine
Caravan Park where they offer you ‘Free Van Storage’ to their customers
while they go to the Cape. Also check out our information and listing for
Cooktown, another
popular destination. If that was not enough to entice you, there are major
national park attractions such as the
Daintree,
Whitsunday Islands and
Carnarvon Gorge, to
name just a few and many villages and towns where you can experience
the friendly local welcome. With something for everyone, including
rock climbing, bush walking, deep sea fishing, diving, snorkelling and more, you can be
