About the Queensland

General Information About Queensland

Queensland is probably the most famous state in Australia because of it's association with several major world heritage sites, including Fraser Island, Riversleigh, the Daintree National Park and the Great Barrier Reef.

The capital of Queensland is Brisbane, an easygoing but vibrant city which always has something going on.

You can spend some time savouring the local cuisine and fine wines, catch a performance at QPAC, browse the Gallery of Modern Art and much more.

The state of Queensland is a great place to visit throughout the year, and swimming in the northern regions is possible no matter what the season is. There are many other activities and attractions spread across the region as well.

Travelling in Queensland

Travelling around Queensland is easy. The road network is great for travelling in private car and there are many airports across the state if you have to travel a long distance in a short time. Flights are offered by Qantas, JetStar, Virgin Blue as well as a number of smaller regional carriers.

You can also choose travel around the state by trains, which connect Brisbane to many other holiday destinations in Queensland, including Cairns, Townsville, the Whitsundays, Charleville and Longreach.

There is also an extensive public transport network between the south of the Gold Coast to the top of the Sunshine Coast, and everywhere in between. Public transport options include buses, trains and ferries.
