I am very proud to call Queensland my home state. It's well known as Australia's Sunshine State. Just like Australia as a whole, Queensland has a very diverse and beautiful landscape. Areas such as the Great Barrier Reef, the outback, world class beaches, sun baked islands and lush green rainforests are just a taste of what Queensland has to offer. |
|  | Islands, Beaches, Reef & Rainforest When it comes to dazzling natural attractions, beaches and waterways, Queensland has a well deserved worldwide travel reputation.
Choose from coral cay islands on the Great Barrier Reef stretching some 2000km up the coastline, explore the world's largest sand islands Fraser Island, surf, walk along kilometres of rolling beaches or unwind at a remote hideaway.
In Queensland you will find world heritage areas like Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island, The Great Barrier Reef which runs 2000km up the Queensland coast & Australia's tropical rainforests of Tropical North Queensland. |
Country Areas & the Outback In the Outback you can experience race meetings or join the camel racing circuit that is becoming quite popular. More unusual racing events include the Eulo World Lizard Racing Carnival, worm races at Crows Nest and the Kajabbi Yabby races.
It's the people of Queensland's Outback, living in complete harmony in a timeless landscape, who can make a visit such a memorable event. Whether you spend time with the opal fossickers of Opalton or Yowah, the miners of Mount Isa or a local in a bush pub, you will find something to do or see and always feel welcome in Queensland's Outback. | | |
