Queensland

Sunny Queensland is a nature lover’s dream, packed with diverse landscapes and incredible wildlife. Thanks to its idyllic beaches and the Great Barrier Reef, the state is one of the most popular destinations in Australia.

Coastal Queensland is also home to the Daintree rainforest, Australia’s tallest waterfall – Wallaman Falls and Eungella National Park – one of the best places in Australia to spot a platypus.

Inland, the Atherton Tablelands see far fewer visitors, yet this is where you find most of the state’s waterfalls and an abundance of wildlife, including tree kangaroos!
