Top Queensland Destinations

By John Wright

Queensland is a state of Australia, in the northeast of the country. The main city is Brisbane.

For people who don't know Queensland, it is marketed as the state where Australia shines. It is hot, sunny and has (in my viewpoint) the best beaches in Australia, if not the World, and therefore doubtless the Universe, not that I've been to them all, or indeed do I intend attempting to get to them all. Having said that , it's probably worth a go.

I had a smart idea of what people may suggest going into this story, however it had a few surprises. Here is what everyone came up with and they can all be holidayed in best by hiring a campervan:

The Great Barrier Reef

No surprises this came top of the list. The Great Barrier Reef stretching from Central Queensland on the East Coast of Australia to Papua New Guinea is the largest living organism in the world. It is a natural wonder of the world and renowned for the great thing about the coral and the creatures that occupy it.

What was surprising was the dazzling strategies that were recommended to experience the reef. Snorkelling and diving were preferred, as were chopper rides above the reef so that you can truly gauge the dimensions of this incredible place.

The Whitsundays

The Whitsundays are a group 74 islands off the Central Queensland coast. The islands supply a gigantic range of tropical shangri la getaways for visitors of all nature. Suggestions for the Whitsundays included snorkelling and diving, as well as swimming with Dolphins off Hamilton Island. Sailing is also a well-liked past time in the Whitsundays and a variety of boats offer sailors of all ability the opportunity to experience a fantastic day out.

Fraser Island

Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world. No this does not imply it is simply a big pile of sand. It has stunning bushland, lakes, beaches and wildlife. Any Queensland bucket list must include a 4WD camping trip here, but bring plenty of toilet tissue as loos are few and far between. Similarly don't feed the dingoes otherwise the rangers will be chasing after you. You really do get back to nature here.

The Sunlight Coast

There are lots of places to surf in Queensland, however taking instruction in Noosa on the Sunlight Coast was a popular choice. Noosa was a tired fishing hamlet but is now a trendy, recent city offering the most recent fashions and food on famous Hastings Street.

Brisbane

Brisbane, capital of Queensland, has its own unique experiences. There are only three bridge climbs in the world and one of them is on the Level Bridge in central Brisbane, which enables you to get a truly unique view of this city. A short drive and boat ride from the CBD is Moreton Bay, a remarkable water way and group of islands that offer camping, fishing, surfing, canoeing, sailing, diving and snorkelling at its best. No surprises here that it hit the Queensland bucket list.

The Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is an enormously popular holiday resort. It offer 26 kms of beaches with Surfers Heaven is iconic for its party and fun lifestyle. The Gold Coast is also known for its theme parks and these naturally hit the bucket list. Warner Brothrs Movie World, Sea World, Dream World, Wet n ' Wild, White Water World and Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary offer a great range of rides and experiences for every age.

A less familiar part of the Gold Coast for travellers is Currumbin. This a very popular surf spot for neighbors and when the tide is out the stream turns into a water wonderland. The most bizarre bucket list recommendation was walking thru the rock pools at Currumbin in the rain.
