Millions of visitors fly to Queensland every year to take in the pristine beaches, walk the tropical islands, venture into the lush rainforests, and tour the bustling cities and authentic Australian outback. Queensland, also known as Australia’s “Sunshine State,” has been tagged the ultimate vacation destination by travelers familiar with the area.
The capital of Queensland is Brisbane, an energetic city complete with style, arts and culture for the worldly traveler. The city comes alive at night when the bars and dance clubs open their doors and keep patrons occupied until the sun comes up. After a wild night in Brisbane, relax in the freshwater lakes of Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world. The Great Barrier Reef is another Queensland must-see. The reef stretches approximately 2300 km (1429 miles) along the coast and is best seen by way of snorkeling or scuba diving. Travelers to Queensland have the chance to revive and rejuvenate at rainforest resorts in North Queensland, or test survival skills in Queensland’s outback.
Getting to Queensland is an adventure for some. Most international flights arrive in Sydney or Melbourne where travelers can board flights to Queensland. Once in Queensland, tourists can explore the various regions by car or bus, or booking Queensland flights with hiring local airlines.
