Places to Explore
If you are striving for a better work-life balance Queensland delivers this in abundance, beyond the golden beaches and up close encounters with wildlife, there are miles of trails to explore in the remote areas of country away from the coast. Queensland offers plenty of unique experiences meaning you will never get bored of exploring the stunning scenery.
Along with the better-known beaches, if you prefer your travel with a side of authentic, Burleigh beach is an amazing hidden gem perfect for surfing and watching the sunset. Or if you prefer swimming in the sea, Currumbin Creek is a great spot for a calm swim away from the rolling waves.
If you’re into wildlife the Currumbin wildlife sanctuary is a great way to see local animals from Lorikeets, Tasmanian Devils, snakes and reptiles.
Hervey Bay along the Fraser Coast is known as the whale watching capital of Australia, here you may be lucky enough to spot humpback whales on their migration from Antarctica to the great barrier reef.
The Sunshine Coast has got to be one of the most beautiful spots along the East Coast of Australia starting 100km north of Brisbane on the Pacific Ocean coastline in Queensland. It spans over such a wide area and isn’t too populated which means that you will always find a bit of serenity wherever you go.
