Queensland, Australia

GREAT BARRIER REEF, QUEENSLAND
"Beautiful one day - Perfect the Next!"
This is a phrase that many Queenslanders regularly boast when talking about Australia's Sunshine State .... and you’ll usually find it’s true!
Queensland is the second largest state in Australia and has the third largest population, most of which is in the capital Brisbane and the southeast corner of the state.
The remaining Queenslanders are spread along the coast, with only a few thousand people living more than 50 kilometres inland. Having so many residents living close to the ocean is one of the reasons why Australians lead the world in swimming events.
Tropical rainforests, world class beaches, the Great Barrier Reef, spectacular outback scenery, cosmopolitan cities and country hideaways - Queensland has the lot!
Some of the best holiday destinations in Australia are found in Queensland. While Queensland has been a sought after holiday destination for many years, when people visit they are still amazed at the diversity and beauty of this part of Australia.

THE RIVER CITY - EXPLORING BRISBANE BY CITYCAT FERRY
Amazing long summers and mild winters are part of the tourist’s attraction to Queensland.
Temperatures across summer and winter range from 9 to 29 Celsius (48-85F) in the capital city of Brisbane and 17C to 31C (62-88F) in Cairns, in the far north. 
The tropical rainforests and regions of Queensland have wet seasons, during which they can experience torrential rain, cyclones or floods. These normally occur only in North Queensland the people of the region take it in their stride ...... it's a part of daily life.
As it's usually still hot at this time, sometimes the rain also quite refreshing.
Visit Queensland and enjoy outdoor attractions and good weather all year-round. Whether you want to take a wildlife tour, explore native habitats or go on a whale watching cruise, there are plenty of adventure tours on offer.
Of course, you can't go to Queensland without visiting the Gold Coast theme parks. Choose from a range of activities across dozens of locations, including Tropical North Queensland, the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast!
