| Destinations / Australia / Queensland / Southern Queensland
On the South Coast, Brisbane is the capital of Queensland. Brisbane is Australia's largest city in the subtropics, enjoying an enviable climate of hot, bright summers and warm, mild winters that makes any time of year a good time to visit.
A modern city dotted with parks and lying beneath clear blue skies makes Brisbane a refreshing change from most major capitals. Brisbane is neighboured to the south by Australia's tourism capital, the Gold Coast, with golden beaches and exciting nightlife. North is the natural beauty and more relaxed atmosphere of the Sunshine Coast.
Upon travelling north, you will find Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island. Fraser Island is sparsely populated and a delight for the outdoor adventurer who enjoys the simple beauty of forests, beaches, huge sand dunes and crystal clear freshwater lakes.
The World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef spans over
2,000 kilometres from the tip of Cape York past Cairns to
Gladstone in the south.
Further north on the East Coast are the world famous Whitsunday Islands. Here you can charter a yacht to explore these magic islands, or simply book a stay on one of the many resort islands and be pampered to your hearts content.
