Don't Miss These Queensland Destinations


Queensland is a condition of Australia, in the northeast of the country. The capital city is Brisbane.

For those of you who have no idea Queensland, it is sold as the state where Australia shines. It is hot, sunny and has (to my mind) the best beaches in Australia.

I had a smart idea of what folks may suggest going into this story, however it still had 1 or 2 surprises. Here's what everybody came up with and they can all be enjoyed best by campervan hire Qld:

The Great Barrier Reef

No surprises this came top of the list. The Great Barrier Reef stretching from Central Queensland on the Eastern Coast of Australia to Papua New Guinea is the biggest living organism in the world. It is a natural wonder of the world and famous for the beauty of the coral and the creatures that inhabit it.

What was surprising was the dazzling strategies that were suggested to experience the reef. Snorkelling and diving were well-liked, as were copter rides above the reef so you can actually gauge the scale of this fantastic place.

The Whitsundays

The Whitsundays are a group 74 islands off the Central Queensland coast. The islands offer a vast range of tropical shangri la getaways for visitors of all nature. Suggestions for the Whitsundays included snorkelling and diving, as well as swimming with Dolphins off Hamilton Island. Sailing is also a favored past time in the Whitsundays and a range of boats offer sailors of all ability the opportunity to experience a fantastic day out.

Fraser Island

Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world. No this doesn't mean it is just a large pile of sand. It has shocking bushland, lakes, beaches and wildlife. Any Queensland bucket list must include a 4WD camping trip here, but bring lots of toilet roll as loos are few and far between. Likewise don't feed the dingoes or the rangers will be running after you. You actually do get back to nature here.

The Sunshine Coast

There are tons of places to surf in Queensland, however having instruction in Noosa on the Sun Coast was a preferred choice. Noosa used to be a sleepy fishing hamlet but is now a hip, up to date city offering the most recent fashions and food on famous Hastings Street.

Brisbane

Brisbane, capital of Queensland, has its own unique experiences. There are only three bridge climbs in the world and one of them is on the Storey Bridge in central Brisbane, which lets you get a very unique view of this city. A short drive and boat ride from the CBD is Moreton Bay, a remarkable water way and group of islands that offer camping, fishing, surfing, kayaking, sailing, diving and snorkelling at its best. No surprises here that it hit the Queensland bucket list.

The Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is an extremely popular vacation resort. It offer 26 kms of beaches with Surfers Shangri la is classic for its party and fun lifestyle. The Gold Coast is also feted for its theme parks and these naturally hit the bucket list. Warner Brothrs Movie World, Sea World, Dream World, Wet n ' Wild, White Water World and Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary offer a great range of rides and experiences for all ages.

A lesser known part of the Gold Coast for travellers is Currumbin. This an extremely well liked surf spot for locals and when the tide is out the creek turns into a water wonderland. The most strange bucket list suggestion was walking through the rock pools at Currumbin in the rain.
