About Queensland
Located on Australia’s eastern seaboard, Queensland is home to some of the world’s most magnificent natural attractions and boasts some of the most diverse and unique features of the Australian landscape including the Great Barrier Reef, tropical islands, pristine rainforests, thousand year old rock carvings and rolling surf beaches along its coastline. South East Queensland is Australia’s fastest growing region and is the Asia Pacific base for many multinational organisations.
Quick Facts:
- Queensland is Australia’s second largest State, covering more than a quarter of Australia’s total area;
- Queensland is home to five of Australia’s eleven World Heritage areas including one of the wonders of the world – the Great Barrier Reef. Stretching for around three-quarters the length of Queensland’s coast, this is the world’s largest, most diverse coral reef system;
- Only in Queensland will you find two World Heritage sites side by side, where the rainforest meets the reef;
- Queensland’s idyllic climate (average summer temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius, average winter temperatures of 15 degrees Celsius) means that Queenslanders enjoy more winter sunshine and warmth than most other Australian States.
