Southern Queensland

Nothing quite compares with the rush of catching your first salty surf wave or the peace you feel gazing at a million stars twinkling in a clear country sky. But then you’ll encounter lots of amazing things in Southern Queensland.

In fact, some of the earth’s most treasured natural wonders, such as the world heritage-listed Fraser Island, are found here.

Everything is within easy reach of the state’s vibrant capital, Brisbane. And the region’s year-round idyllic weather and relaxed vibe make it the perfect touring destination.

You can spend a morning shopping for international and Australian designer labels, then play a round of golf at a world-class course, and be the only soul on a spectacular beach as the sun sinks into the horizon. The next day might see you rediscovering yourself at a mountain top health resort, zipping through the trees on a flying fox, or sampling fresh seafood by the sea.

Southern Queensland includes Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, the Fraser Coast and Southern Queensland Country. It offers a fascinating mix of cities, coast and hinterland and it is the gateway to some of Australia’s most diverse and awe-inspiring holiday experiences.
