Young and vibrant Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, provides an exciting cosmopolitan city experience. Brisbane is the hub of sophisticated shopping, alfresco dining, entertainment and nightlife. Be sure to visit the Australia Zoo—home of TV’s Crocodile Hunter.

Fraser Island

To the north of Brisbane you'll find enigmatic Fraser Island.  (Lakes & Creeks of Fraser Island) This World Heritage-listed national park is the world's largest sand island. Explore Fraser on a 4WD adventure or guided nature tour from award-winning eco resort,  Kingfisher Bay. 

The Gold Coast
