Climate & Weather

Queensland enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year.

Its winters are mild and pleasant and remain suitable for activities such as surfing and snorkelling.

Any time is a good time to visit Australia’s Sunshine State!

So come on, pack your swimsuit, a jumper for those cool evenings and maybe an umbrella for the occasional afternoon shower…but that's it.

You won't need to bring too much and that'll leave just enough space in your suitcase for you to squeeze in your shopping, as well as those gifts and souvenirs.

After all, that's what holidays are about.
