TOUR
THE QUEENSLAND INTERACTIVE MAPee Queensland, straddled by the Tropic of Capricorn, is justifiably known as Australia's Sunshine State. Brisbane, the Capital and one of the fastest growing cities in Australia, makes an excellent base for touring the Gold Coast, " Australia's Playground" and the Sunshine Coast with its stylish resorts, such as Noosa. To the tropical north is Cairns, a thriving port caressed by mountains. The Daintree Rainforest is exquisite, a carpet of lush unspoilt splendour. A newly constructed cable car south of Port Douglas is a thrilling way to travel above Rainforest canopies. Offshore nestles the tropical paradises of the Whitsunday Islands, which can explored by Charter Boat, whilst the Great Barrier Reef stretches for a significant proportion of the Queensland coastline.
