Queensland Holidays

Holidays in Queensland feature some of Australia’s most iconic landscapes – from golden beaches to lush rainforests and vibrant coral reefs. The Sunshine State offers nearly 7,000 kilometres of sun-kissed coastline, perfect for exploring on a road trip as a family or couple. Cairns, the tropical city, is the gateway to adventure, and thrill-seekers can sail the 74 Whitsunday Islands and snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef. Other adventures in Queensland include exploring Fraser Island in a 4WD and trekking through the 180 million-year-old Daintree Rainforest.

For relaxation, Queensland has plenty of luxurious hotels, sunshine and some of the world’s best beaches – from Whitehaven in the Whitsundays to surf spots in Noosa. Get your city fix in cosmopolitan Brisbane, the region’s capital, or head to the Hunter Valley for wine tasting. Queensland is also a haven for animal lovers, with whale watching, turtle hatchlings, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and wild dingoes on Fraser Island.
