Queensland is a condition of Australia, in the northeast of the country. The capital city is Brisbane.
For those individuals who have no idea Queensland, it is sold as the State where Australia shines. It is hot, bright and has (to my mind) the best beaches in Australia, if not the World, and so probably the Universe, not that I have been to them all, or indeed do I intend trying hard to get to them all. That said , it's likely worth a go.
I had a good idea of what folk may suggest going into this story, however it had 1 or 2 surprises. Here is what everyone came up with and they can all be enjoyed best by hiring a campervan:
The Great Barrier Reef
No surprises that this came top of the list. The Great Barrier Reef stretching from Central Queensland on the Eastern Coast of Australia to Papua New Guinea is the biggest living organism in the world. It's a natural wonder of the Earth and famous for the beauty of the coral and the creatures that inhabit it.
What was surprising was the superb techniques that were suggested to experience the reef. Snorkelling and diving were well-liked, as were copter rides above the reef so you can actually gauge the size of this fantastic 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 biggest sand island in the world. No this doesn't mean it is just a enormous pile of sand. It has striking bushland, lakes, beaches and wildlife. Any Queensland bucket list must include a 4WD camping outing here, but bring lots of toilet paper as bathrooms are few and far between. Likewise don't feed the dingoes or the rangers will be running after you. You actually 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 a hugely popular vacation resort. It offer 26 kms of beaches with Surfers Shangri la is classic for its party and fun way of life. The Gold Coast is also feted for its theme parks and these naturally hit the bucket list. Warner Brothers Mvie World, Sea World, Dream World, Wet n ' Wild, White Water World and Currumbin Wildlife Refuge offer an impressive range of rides and experiences for all ages.
A lesser known part of the Gold Coast for visitors 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 unusual bucket list proposal was going through the rock pools at Currumbin in the rain.
