| Queensland, home of the Great Barrier
Reef is commonly referred to as the "Sunshine State", and has all facets of
Australia wrapped up in one state. It's the most popular state to visit and has everything
a tourist could ever want. |

The Great Barrier Reef
is stunning with its spectacular coral reefs, marine life and the pleasures of snorkelling
and diving. There are plenty of island resorts, rainforests treks, 220 national parks and
the vast expanse of the famed Outback to tempt and confuse the visitor with.

It is Australia's ultimate outdoor
playground where you can hike through verdant rainforests, relax on an island, soak up the
sun or go diving in the Great Barrier Reef. |

Coast and the beauty of the coral islands, the grandeur of the rainforests to the
adventure of the national parks, visitors to Queensland feel they have stumbled into
Mother Natures own special hideout. |
