Queensland Travel Guide
How to Live Work and Play Queensland
So Queensland is on your travel plans. Queensland has a beautiful coastline with many white sandy beaches with clear, crystal blue waters just waiting for you to swim or snorkel in. You can surf the waves or dive the Great Barrier Reef. There are many vibrant cities along the coastline too – those on the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns to name a few. Or leave the coast and head into the interior and discover dinosaurs – yep dinosaurs – plus loads of interesting towns.
