About Queensland

QUEENSLAND was the first of Australia's states to commit to major tourism development - and no wonder. The state offers an extraordinary profusion of beach and rainforest attractions, plus tropical islands and the unparalleled Great Barrier Reef.

Queensland's holiday regions and attractions range from theme parks and surf beaches to the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest complex of coral reefs and islands. They span the wilderness and adventure travel areas of the state's north and far north.

Queensland has major cities, a red outback and a glitzy coastal strip - the Gold Coast in the south east. It also has a coast dotted with tropical islands and makes for a perfect Australian holiday.
