Queensland is affectionately known as “the sunshine state” and it’s easy to see why once you’ve spent a bit of time here. When it comes to Australia’s east coast Queensland has some of the biggest tours and attractions. You’ll experience coral reefs, tropical rainforests, 4 wheel drive adventures and more.
What can’t you do in Queensland? That’s the real question. Starting in Brisbane which is the capital you can explore the city. Checkout the surrounds, visit Southbank and head to Fortitude Valley for a night on the town. You can also visit Tangalooma or Moreton island for an island getaway or explore Springbrook national park.
Only a short drive north of Brisbane and you’ll find yourself on the sunshine coast. Towns like Mooloolaba and Caloundra have city folk flocking here for some weekend sun. Noosa is the most popular place to visit and is a great destination.
Noosa has pristine beaches, a vibrant restaurant scene, national parks, everglades to explore and more. We recommend visiting Australia Zoo, exploring the national park and the Noosa Everglades while you’re here.
Fraser island is up next as you make your way up the coast. This is one of the biggest attractions on the east coast and the largest Sand island in the world. Tours depart from Noosa, Hervey bay and also Rainbow beach.
The best way to experience Fraser island is on a 3 day 2 night 4 wheel drive tag along tour. If you’ve got your drivers licence you can take turns driving on the beach with your new tour mates. An epic experience without the high cost of hiring a 4 wheel drive.
The towns of 1770 and Agnes waters aren’t far from here and are worth a visit to relax and checkout the beaches. There are a few other towns such as Rockhampton and Mackay that you can check out too. After exploring this part of the coast you’ll arrive at the next big ticket item on the coast. The Whitsunday islands.
74 tropical islands await you off the coast of Airlie Beach. The Whitsunday islands offer pristine beaches, scenic hikes and lookouts and amazing snorkelling and scuba diving adventures. There are lots of different boat tours to choose from when visiting the area. Choose from day trips, 2 day 1 night and 2 day 2 night adventures.
A short bus trip or drive from your Whitsundays adventure and you’ll arrive in Townsville. The bus will drop you off at the ferry terminal here to visit Magnetic island.
