Queensland is a state of Australia, in the northeast of the country. The capital city is Brisbane.
For people who don't know Queensland, it is promoted as the state where Australia shines. It is hot, sunny and has (to my mind) the best beaches in Australia.
I had a smart idea of what people may suggest going into this story, however it still had one or two surprises. Here's what everybody came up with and they can all be visited best by campervan hire Qld:
The Great Barrier Reef
No surprises this came top of the list. The Great Barrier Reef stretching from Central Queensland on the East Coast of Australia to Papua New Guinea is the biggest living organism in the world. It's a natural wonder of the planet and famous for the beauty of the coral and the creatures that occupy it.
What was surprising was the amazing ways that were suggested to experience the reef. Snorkelling and diving were popular, as were copter rides above the reef so that you can actually gauge the size of this phenomenal place.
The Whitsundays
The Whitsundays are a group 74 islands off the Central Queensland coast. The islands provide a vast range of tropical paradise 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 popular past time in the Whitsundays and a variety of boats offer sailors of all ability the chance to experience a great day out.
Fraser Island
Fraser Island is the biggest sand island in the world. No this does not imply it is just a big pile of sand. It has stunning bushland, lakes, beaches and wildlife. Any Queensland bucket list must include a 4WD camping outing here, but bring lots of toilet tissue as bathrooms are few and far between. Likewise don't feed the dingoes otherwise the rangers will be chasing after you. You really do get back to nature here.
The Sun Coast
There are plenty of places to surf in Queensland, however taking instruction in Noosa on the Sunlight Coast was a popular choice. Noosa was a sleepy fishing town but is now a trendy, up to date town offering the newest 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 allows you to get a very unique view of this city. A short drive and ship ride from the CBD is Moreton Bay, a stunning 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 an enormously popular vacation resort. It offer 26 kms of beaches with Surfers Shangri la is classic for its party and fun lifestyle. The Gold Coast is also feted for its theme parks and these naturally hit the bucket list. Warner Brothrs 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 less well-known part of the Gold Coast for tourists is Currumbin. This a very 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 thru the rock pools at Currumbin in the rain.
