Queensland is a state of Australia, in the northeast of the country. The capital city is Brisbane.
For those individuals who have no idea Queensland, it is promoted as the state where Australia shines. It is hot, sunny and has (to my mind) the best beaches in Australia.
I had a smart idea of what folks may suggest going into this story, however it still had one or two surprises. Here is what everybody came up with and they can all be holidayed in best by campervan hire Qld:
The Great Barrier Reef
No surprises that 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 biggest living organism in the world. It is a natural wonder of the planet and renowned for the beauty of the coral and the creatures that inhabit it.
What was surprising was the superb techniques that were recommended to experience the reef. Snorkelling and diving were popular, as were copter rides above the reef so that you can truly gauge the dimensions of this phenomenal place.
The Whitsundays
The Whitsundays are a group 74 islands off the Central Queensland coast. The islands supply a vast range of tropical paradise getaways for visitors of all nature. Ideas for the Whitsundays included snorkelling and diving, as well as swimming with Dolphins off Hamilton Island. Sailing is also a favored past time in the Whitsundays and a selection of boats offer sailors of all ability the opportunity to experience a brilliant day out.
Fraser Island
Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world. No this doesn't suggest it is just a big pile of sand. It has striking bushland, lakes, beaches and wildlife. Any Queensland bucket list must include a 4WD camping trip here, but bring plenty of toilet paper as bathrooms are few and far between. Likewise don't feed the dingoes or the rangers will be chasing after you. You do get back to nature here.
The Sunlight Coast
There are plenty of places to surf in Queensland, however taking lessons in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast was a popular option. Noosa was once a knackered fishing hamlet but is now a popular, recent city offering the latest fashions and food on famous Hastings Street.
Brisbane
Brisbane, capital of Queensland, has its own unique experiences. There are only 3 bridge climbs in the world and one of them is on the Storey Bridge in central Brisbane, which allows you to get a really unique view of this city. A short drive and boat ride from the CBD is Moreton Bay, a fabulous water way and group of islands that offer camping, fishing, surfing, kayaking, 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 vacation resort. It offer 26 kms of beaches with Surfers Shangri la 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 Brothers Movi World, Sea World, Dream World, Wet n ' Wild, White Water World and Currumbin Wildlife Refuge offer a large range of rides and experiences for all ages.
A lesser known part of the Gold Coast for tourists is Currumbin. This a truly popular surf spot for locals and when the tide is out the creek turns into a water wonderland. The most bizarre bucket list proposal was walking thru the rock pools at Currumbin in the rain.
