With regions such as the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, it’s
little wonder that Queensland brings to mind lazy days on sunny
beaches. The warm waters and top beach breaks beckon surfers
from around the world, and seaside towns show relaxed Australian
culture at its best.
Brisbane, or ‘Brissy’ as the locals call it, is Queensland’s
capital city. With its thriving arts scene and a love for
markets and alfresco dining, Brisbane offers a relaxed
sophistication in its entertainment and leisure time.
The Great Barrier Reef, as one of the natural wonders of the
world, is a truly amazing experience for divers with an
abundance of colourful marine life, while all along the
Queensland coast are hot spots for keen boaties and anglers.
If wilderness and waterfalls are more your thing you don’t have
to go far. Queensland has spectacular national parks to explore
with an array of native plants and animals – and no they don’t
all bite!
So, if you’re wanting the ever-appealing tropical island
holiday, but with a truly cosmopolitan world-class city at your
doorstep… you can’t go past Queensland.
