Truly the state where you can find a bit of everything,Queensland is abundant in a diverse range of experiences with something for everyone, from animal encounters and waterfall escapes to nightlife hubs and thrilling theme parks.


Brisbane provides a hub within the state for great food and vibrant culture, while the glittering Gold Coast is hailed as not only the nightlife capital, but also a family-friendly vacation spot with plenty of theme parks the kids (and adults) will love. Kick back and relax in Palm Cove or Noosa – the perfect paradise havens for a tropical escape.


Nature lovers can spend their days exploring luscious rainforests, snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef and whiling away the afternoon in one of the state’s many refreshing waterfalls. Australia Zoo will delight travellers with animal experiences like no other, plus there are plenty of Australian animals to spot in the wild including the distinctive Southern Cassowary.
