List of some the best spots to visit in Queensland
Starting from Northern Queensland
Cape Tribulation in the Daintree Rainforest [QLDd-15]
Situated
in far north tropical Queensland is one of the world's finest examples
of Mother Nature: The Daintree Rainforest. This is literally the home of
the planet's largest collection of plants and animals and offers
everything a wilderness lover could want.
Cairns [QLDd-14]
The Cairns
region literally has it all: pristine rainforest, the Great Barrier
Reef, stunning beaches and a unique metropolitan vibe. Cairns is the
undeniable hub of Far North Queensland and is a must-see for anyone
travelling up this way. Although a recent development, the Cairns
Esplanade has fast become one of the city's most popular attractions and
features an outdoor amphitheatre, a large sandy swimming lagoon, grassy
picnic areas and a multitude of walking tracks. This is just one of the
many things that you will grow to love while visiting Cairns.
Townsville [QLDd-13]
This
magnetic destination is at the very heart of the tropics of Queensland.
The city is surrounded by a rich hinterland of tropical rainforests and
waterfalls and is also right on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. The
city itself offers everything a major city should and doesn't
disappoint in the shopping and restaurant departments. Townsville is a
must is you are in this part of the state as there really is no other
place like it!
Whitsundays [QLDd-13]
The Whitsundays are bordered by
the Great Barrier Reef and 74 tropical islands so what more needs to be
said! Sink your feet in the white sands of the pristine beaches or take a
dip in the refreshing aquamarine waters of the stunning beaches. This
is the ultimately the best place in Queensland for an island holiday
because, really, there is no place better!
Airlie Beach [QLDd-13]
As
the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays, Airlie Beach
sure doesn't disappoint. This seaside paradise is the perfect
destination for a couple's getaway or a fun filled family holiday.
Beaches abound, adventure calls and the relaxation is waiting to be
appreciated!
Emerald [QLDd-12]
Emerald
is a large, modern town of Queensland and is considered the hub of the
Central Highlands. It is also regarded as the gateway to the Sapphire
Gemfields, which is one of the richest sapphire fields in the Southern
Hemisphere. Emerald is a pleasant community, offering endless
attractions both of the recreational and metropolitan kind.
Carnarvon Gorge National Park [QLDd-11]
One Trax2 favorite areas in Outback Queensland is Carnarvon Gorge.
This area is simply spectacular, particularly after a little bit of
rain. Hidden in the rugged ranges of Queensland's highlands, the gorge
features towering sandstone cliffs, diverse flora and fauna, and
Aboriginal Rock Art. You will also be pleasantly surprised to find
hidden waterholes and waterfalls along the tracks, which are perfect for
a refreshing dip after a hot day of hiking!
Roma [QLDd-11]
Situated in the western Darling Downs of
Queensland, Roma is a diverse town that is rich in pastoral and wheat
farming. Roma is also famous for its brilliant wine producing industry
and is also well known for its beef. Attractions in the area include the
Big Rig and Oil and Gas museum, as well as elements of the Carnarvon
Gorge National Park.
Mount Isa [QLDa-13]
This
city in Far North Queensland is perhaps most famous for its mining
status. The Mount Isa mines are some of the most successful in the
world's history and this is essentially why people want to visit.
Another popular attraction in the city would have to be Lake Moondarra,
which is a great spot for fishing and outdoor recreational activities.
Longreach [QLDc-12]
The
legendary town of Longreach is full of history and heritage and is
located in central western Queensland. The town is home to the
Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame as well as the Quantas Founders
Outback Museum. A visit to these places will broaden your knowledge of
Australian history and get you back in touch with our culture.
Mackay [QLDe-13]
The
Mackay region offers picturesque landscapes, exotic flora and fauna, a
rich multi-cultural history and warm friendly locals. Mackay is the
perfect place to escape to for adventure, relaxation, and exploration,
offering everything from pristine beaches and islands to unique
galleries and museums, as well as all the shops your heart could desire.
Lower Barrier Reef Islands - Bundaberg [QLDe-11]
If
you are in the towns of Bundaberg or Mackay you simply must take a day
trip out to the southern islands of the Great Barrier Reef. The most
popular of these include Lady Elliot and Lady Musgrave, but really,
there are so many you can explore and explore until your heart is
content. This is the perfect way to discover the wonder and beauty of
the reef, without having to travel so far north to enjoy it.
Noosa [QLDe-11]
This
small resort town on the Sunshine Coast is popular all year round, most
likely due to its great surfing beach, unique shops and awesome
restaurants and cafes. It is also at the heart of the Noosa and Cooloola
National Parks. This means that you can get the best of both worlds
(rainforest and beach) all in the one place. This is definitely one to
add to the trip if you want to experience the best of Queensland coastal
living.
Montville [QLDe-11]
Located
right in the heart of the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, there
really is no better place for couple's to escape to the quaint village
of Montville. Walk the tree lined streets and discover antique shops and
hidden boutiques which specialize in locally handcrafted masterpieces.
The drive up here alone is breathtaking, because as you climb the
mountain terrain you will be able to enjoy the stunning views of the
Sunshine Coast throughout.
Glasshouse Mountains [QLDe-11]
The Glass House Mountains are sitting in the hinterlands of the Sunshine Coast and to some are the most
beautiful set of mountains in Queensland and some say in Australia. These volcanic peaks tower
above pine plantations, eucalyptus forests and open fields and feature
walking tracks that range from simple to challenging. Beerwah Mountain
is the most prominent of the range and is simply stunning and the other
mountains are no exception!
Sunshine Coast [QLDf-11]
The Sunshine
Coast begins around 100 kilometres north of Brisbane and is a popular
escape from the hassles of city life. Home to some of the state's best
beaches, the Sunshine Coast is a tourist mecca and offers everything a
good holiday should encompass. Laze under a beach umbrella by the sea,
check out the massive shopping centres or take a drive up the mountains
into the hinterland where you will find classic towns such as Montville
and Maleny. The Sunshine Coast is the quieter alternative to the Gold
Coast, and in my mind at least, the preferred one!
Toowoomba [QLDe-10]
Known as the "Garden City",
Toowoomba features some of the state's most beautiful public gardens.
The architecture and cityscape are also focal points of interest, with
history and heritage just oozing from their walls. Toowoomba is a
pleasant city nestled in the Darling Downs of Queensland. Its relatively
high position means that it enjoys a pleasantly cool climate; a nice
escape from the usual heat that Queensland offers.
Brisbane [QLDf-10]
As the capital city of Queensland,
Brisbane encompasses everything one would expect from a major city. Of
course there are your traditional tourist activities such as the State
Library, Museum and Botanical Gardens, yet there is just so much more on
offer here. Take a city cat up the length of the river, passing South
Bank, Victoria Point and Kangaroo Point, explore the shopping wonders of
Queen Street Mall or try your luck at a round of poker at the Conrad
Treasury Casino. One thing is for sure in Brisbane: you will never be
bored!
Stanthorpe [QLDe-10]
Where
in Queensland do you find a cool climate as well as spectacular
landscapes? The answer to your question is Stanthorpe! Nestled in the
heart of the Granite Belt, Stanthorpe is a pleasant town and is regarded
as Queensland's premier wine region. The town is also surrounded by
some of the country's finest National Parks which means that you are
only within a short driving distance of Mother Nature.
Lamington National Park [QLDf-10]
Two
hours south of Brisbane you will find lush rainforests, spectacular
views, extensive walking tracks, exceptional ecological importance and
natural beauty. All of this can be found in Lamington National Park, a
stunning park that features some of the world's best walks, animals and
plant life.
Gold Coast [QLDf-10]
The Gold Coast is
perhaps the strongest tourist magnet of Queensland as there really is
something here for the whole family. Best known for being home to the
country's most popular theme parks (Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World
and Wet'n'Wild), amazing beaches and Surfer's Paradise, the Gold Coast
doesn't fail to please. Take a drive down The Strip to get a true taste
of the coastal life or venture out on a day cruise to soak up the sun,
fresh air and calm, blue waters.
