Loading ...Queensland is an absolute treasure to visit, surrounded by the Coral Sea and the Pacific Ocean, this is a very hidden gem, which is bound to thrill, excite and delight you, all at the same time!
With its sun kissed weather, dreamy shores and fabulous beaches, Queensland is home to many of Australia’s most stunning scenery. Here you will find the tourist attractions of the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane as well as Cairns, Port Douglas and even the Great Barrier Reef: all in one state. What more could you ask for?
The Great Barrier Reef is actually made up of around 3,000 reefs and around 900 islands. It is truly awesome to see and it is fascinating to see ‘Nature’ in action as it is in this whole eco-system, which has survived for millions of years. It is not without good reason that this was declared a World Heritage Site. Some people even describe it as one of the seven wonders of the natural world, such is its splendour. SO don’t miss out on this natural phenomenon.
For those who like things to be a little more on the adventurous side, there are five theme parks to choose from, with Movie World and Dream world being two of the most popular.
Since tourism is such big business here, the facilities are of a standard which you would expect in a popular holiday destination. Fantastic restaurants are plentiful. Obviously being on the coast, there are quite a lot of seafood restaurants, but due to quite a vibrant and diverse population, there are various cuisines available and plenty of choice, to suit all pockets and all tastes.
Activities are also very diverse, with a lot of beach based activities, surfing, swimming and sailing, but there are plenty of historic sites to see, as well as a good range of museums, art galleries and even a wildlife sanctuary at Currumbin. You could even visit the Australia Zoo, which was the base of Steve Irwin, the intrepid Australian explorer, who died in 2006.
However, whilst you are here, you really need to make some time available, just to spend on the beach, looking at the beautiful sights and just relaxing, chilling out and enjoying the laid back kind of lifestyle which Australians do so well. It is a joy for the senses.
So, for a truly unforgettable holiday, make Queensland your destination of choice. Spend a little time in Brisbane and then head off to the beaches and coastline of this very hospitable, friendly and amazingly beautiful state. You will not be disappointed, it is a very memorable experience for all and one of its main features is that it appeals to all age groups and families as well as single travellers. A real utopia !
