Why Queensland?

Life-changing natural wonders, from the Great Barrier Reef to the rainforest

Queensland is home to five magnificent World-Heritage listed wonders: the world’s largest reef – The Great Barrier Reef, the world’s oldest living rainforest – Daintree Rainforest, the world’s largest sand island – K’gari (Fraser Island), one of the most significant fossil sites in the world with some dating back 25 million years – Riversleigh Fossil Mammal Sites, and the most extensive area of sub tropical rainforest in the entire world – the Gondwana Rainforests. Thanks to the warm sub tropical climate, these sights can be explored all year round.

A warm welcome and a rich indigenous culture

Queensland is home to the world’s oldest living cultures, and the only place in the country where both Australia’s Indigenous cultures, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, meet. Here, travellers can learn first-hand about the world through the eyes of the land’s traditional owners.
