Australia > Queensland

Queensland is a huge place, larger than some countries and there is something there for everyone. From the Gold Coast in the south of the state to Cairns in the tropical North, there is something for everyone. There are huge areas of land and sea with island paradises where you can getaway from the bustle of life, or throw yourself into the excitement and entertainment like the nightlife of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, or, join a corroboree dance with the indigenous people.

Queensland has numerous resorts and island paradises where you can get away from it all or plunge into theme parks which the children will love. When Dreamworld Australia opened in 1981, its founder dedicated the park “to the people happiness of all people”. It succeeded immediately and continues to make over one million visitors happy each year! The minute you enter the park, it is like entering another world where something new and exciting happens at every minute and at every fun.

Every themed area takes you on separate adventures of thrills, excitement and education. One minute you are pulling 4.5 G’s on the Tower of Terror, moments later you could be meeting and cuddling one of the Dream world’s beautiful Koalas. Plummet 39 storeys at the speed of gravity (up to 135Kph) aboard The Giant Drop the tallest free-fall ride in the world. Then you can cool off by splashing down into the Blue Lagoon by toboggan and water slide. See majestic tigers wrestling with their handlers then board the Captain Sturt Paddle wheeler to watch the madcap antics of Dream world’s own bushrangers doing battle with the law. With so much to see and do. Dreamworld has too much fun for just one day. You will want to come back again and again. Including Movieworld, Wet and Wild and also Sea World.

Noosa
With beautiful beaches, a headland and an inlet-on the north east coast of Australia that offer space either for surfing, swimming or just a soak in the sun. There are many great cafés, restaurants and most of all superb shopping malls. The formula is repeated in an almost unbroken rhythm from the Victoria in the south to the tropic of Capricorn in the north. What is it then that Noosa so special? It is a town whose name alone resonates with notions of relaxation, natural beauty and style. It is indeed a paradise as is the nearby Fraser Island.

North of Brisbane the state capital, there are vast fields of sugar cane and pineapples, travelling north, the climate becomes very tropical around Cairns and the Daintree Rainforest world of strange insects and slithering creatures. In the far north the cape York Peninsula and the Torres Straight Islands provide some very remote adventures.
