Reefs, Islands and Beaches

Pack your swimsuit and sunscreen because Queensland is renowned for pristine beaches, picturesque islands and of course, the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef. With its diverse coral and marine life, phenomenal diving and snorkeling spots and hidden islands, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s great natural wonders. Stretching for 1430 miles and home to over 1,500 species of marine life, it’s the ultimate nature-lovers’ location.

Discovery and Adventure

There’s a sense of excitement, adventure and discovery around every corner in Queensland, from the wonders of the rainforest to the splendors of the sea. Lace up your boots and take on an epic hiking trail or dip below the surface and explore some of the world’s best dive sites. Discover the Outback and hike the breath-taking trails at Carnarvon Gorge, stopping to cool off with a dip in a freshwater rock pool. Or explore Queensland from the water, kayaking to the secluded bays and beaches of Magnetic Island, or exploring the pristine and calming beauty of the Noosa Everglades.

Natural Encounters

Queensland’s breathtaking natural landscapes are home to a variety of unique animal and marine life that will make your holiday one you’ll remember forever. Snorkel and dive the Great Barrier Reef to encounter the Great Eight marine animals, including turtles, whales, manta rays and clownfish. On land, you can cuddle a koala or watch friendly kangaroos and wallabies searching for food at sunrise on a tranquil beach. With more than 1,000 national parks within Queensland, there’s plenty of natural wonders to explore, including the World-Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest and the Gondwana Rainforests.

Living the Queensland Lifestyle

Queensland is laid-back and relaxed, with friendly locals who are always willing to help or offer advice. Abundant flavors, local produce and the freshest seafood are at the heart of Queensland’s food experience. The year-round outdoor lifestyle and extraordinary natural environment set the stage to savor the ever-emerging vibrant food culture. Enjoy fresh scallops in Hervey Bay, a feast of locally sourced ingredients by the beach in Palm Cove or do dinner like a true Queenslander and pick up some of the best home-grown organic beef in the world and cook it up on the barbecue! Experience riverside dining at its finest at the Howard Smith Wharves in Brisbane, followed by a stroll through the city to South Bank.

Indigenous Experiences

Queensland is a great place to learn about the culture of Australia’s First People, with experiences that bring the rich culture, storytelling and customs of Indigenous Australians to life. Discover Stradbroke Island, known to the Traditional Owners the Quandamooka people as Minjerribah, or immerse yourself in the story and customs of the Yugambeh people on the Gold Coast in Burleigh Heads National Park. Further north, join a guided walk by the local Kuku Yalanji people through the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest in Cairns & Great Barrier Reef to learn about the history of the region and taste native food.
