Queensland's Top Holiday Spots

By Peter Driveabout


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

For those of you who don't know Queensland, it is sold as the State where Australia shines. It is hot, bright and has (in my viewpoint) the best beaches in Australia.

I had a brilliant idea of what folk may suggest going into this story, however it still had one or two surprises. Here is what everyone came up with and they can all be holidayed in best by campervan hire Qld:

The Great Barrier Reef

No surprises that 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 largest living organism in the world. It is a natural wonder of the world and renowned for the fantastic thing about the coral and the creatures that inhabit it.

What was surprising was the amazing strategies that were advised to experience the reef. Snorkelling and diving were well-liked, as were helicopter rides above the reef so you can actually gauge the scale of this incredible place.

The Whitsundays

The Whitsundays are a group 74 islands off the Central Queensland coast. The islands offer a gigantic range of tropical paradise getaways for visitors of all nature. Recommendations for the Whitsundays included snorkelling and diving, as well as swimming with Dolphins off Hamilton Island. Sailing is also a well-liked past time in the Whitsundays and a selection 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 suggest it is simply 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 tissue as bathrooms are few and far between. Likewise don't feed the dingoes otherwise the rangers will be running after you. You actually do get back to nature here.

The Sunlight Coast

There are tons of places to surf in Queensland, however taking lessons in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast was a popular option. Noosa was once a tired fishing town but is now a hip, recent town offering the newest 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 truly unique view of this town. 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, canoeing, sailing, diving and snorkelling at its best. No surprises here that it hit the Queensland bucket list.

The Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is a hugely popular holiday resort. It offer 26 kms of beaches with Surfers Shangri la is classic for its party and fun way of life. 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 large range of rides and experiences for all ages.

A less familiar part of the Gold Coast for travellers is Currumbin. This a truly popular surf spot for neighbors and when the tide is out the stream turns into a water wonderland. The most unusual bucket list suggestion was walking thru the rock pools at Currumbin in the rain.
