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!
