Unforgettable Landscapes

Spanning a massive 1.72 million square kilometres, Queensland is four times the size of Japan and nearly six times the size of the United Kingdom. The State weaves together an incredibly diverse range of landscapes - from rocky desert outcrops to small coral cays, sprawling sand dunes and dense rainforests.

Spectacular rainforests and national parks border beach environments along much of Queensland’s 7400km coastline - perfect for scenic driving, beach picnicking and swimming. The highlight of the coastal landscapes is Cape Tribulation where the Daintree Rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef - the only place in the world where World Heritage listed sites meet. Stroll the beautiful sandy beaches fringed by lush vegetation of the 135 million year-old rainforest. From dense rainforests to dry scrubland and scenic gorges, Tropical North Queensland is as diverse as it is enchanting.

The beautiful Whitsundays alone are home to 74 tropical islands, most uninhabited pristine national parks, scattered across its sapphire blue seas. Here you’ll also find tempting island resorts and idyllic sailing waters.

It’s a dramatic contrast to the vast and inspiring landscapes of Outback Queensland - vivid red desert sand dunes, Coolabah-lined rivers, rocky outcrops, dinosaur fossil sites and lush fishing spots just to mention a few.
