Queensland - the time of your life
Welcome to Queensland where 300 sunny days a year await...it's really no wonder why Queenslanders are so happy.
Outdoor activities rule in Queensland and you won’t be able to avoid the water whether you’re on, in or under it snorkeling, diving, surfing, sailing, kayaking or swimming. Witness wildlife in their native habitats, attempt skydiving or even follow in the footsteps of early pioneers in the Outback. Step back into the dreamtime as you view Aboriginal rock art or attend a local exhibition at a regional gallery. And then there’s the shopping at markets, galleries and boutiques. Quench a thirst with Aussie nightlife or get off the beaten track while bushwalking.
