Queensland 4 canva

A sunny state of mind


Known as "the sunshine state", Queensland is the ultimate beach holiday destination. With its gorgeous weather and endless stretches of coastline, it's a paradise on earth for travellers after a bit of fun in the sand and sun. 

Take a weekend break in Surfers Paradise or Brisbane, or rent a car and explore for a little longer, hitting the sights of the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast on your way up to Cairns and Cape Tribulation. Along the way you'll not only discover beautiful beaches, pristine islands and thriving coastal communities, but World Heritage sites and a magical hinterland filled with gourmet foodie experiences, delightful walking trails and so much more. Queensland is also a fantastic family holiday destination with its theme parks and wildlife attractions such as Australia Zoo. And how could we forget the spectacular Great Barrier Reef? 

Queensland is truly a state filled with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and your World Travellers consultant can help you tailor the perfect Queensland holiday to suit your needs.
