Experiencing Queensland Australia
During a visit to the United States - most of the people know that when you visit Los Angeles and Disneyland, they are in California and when the position of Miami or Fort Lauderdale cruise ports, they are in Florida. Most people who go to Australia know the names of cities or the sites they want to see the State in which they go to., but very rarely the State of Queensland is quite large, 2.5 times the size of Texas, so there's a lot of ground to cover and a lot of sights to see along the way. This narrowing, more than 70% of the population of Queensland reside within 50 miles of the coast, which reduces the amount of land you will need to cover without missing on too many strong points.
More often that otherwise, the great barrier reef is on top of the Australia Bucket List of experiences. Located in Queensland, the reef spans more than 1 400 miles and begins near Papua New Guinea, and continues South along the coast of Queensland to Bundaberg (just north of Brisbane). With more than 450 types of coral, 1,500 species of fish and 4 000 types of mollusks, the reef is also various it is also colorful. Dive with turtles and manta rays off the coast of the island of Lady Elliot, dive the spectacular cay Low Isles coral off the coast of Port Douglas and Cairns, made a romantic panoramic flight on the iconic heart reef, or maybe try a Green Island diving helmet.
Island is another option to get the best experience maritime and terrestrial. Offering a range of the island experiences that range from the extreme north to the Queensland border, there is an island for all budgets and inclinations. Explore the largest sand island in the world, Fraser Island that features of the inland lakes, rainforest and a range of 75 miles which is a dedicated 4WD road. Experience world-class snorkeling among the jewels of the Lady Elliot Island or island to Herons. Hamilton Island is the largest residential island of 74 in the Whitsundays, offering a range of accommodation from luxury qualia, for adults only or family friendly hotels. High range station options include Lizard Island, one alone, and only Hayman and Orpheus Island.
Queensland has more than 8 000 miles of coastline, which coastal vacation an option near the beach. Gold sand surf beaches and along with Sunshine, to the protected bays and beaches lined with Palm trees in the tropics and the private island beaches, you could spend weeks months exploring all. Don't forget the amazing beach of Whitehaven in the Whitsundays, which is regularly voted best beach in the world - with the border of pure white silica sand in clear waters.
Now with coast so much, it is linked to a lot of marine life swimming past! Every year, between June and November, more than 7,000 humpback whales stop to stay and play in Hervey Bay, as part of their annual migration of 3 100 miles to Antarctica. Whales stop to teach their baby calves violating, spy hopping and survival skills.
Fishing is also a popular recreational sport in Queensland. Try the surf fishing on the island of Fraser or go fishing on the high seas off the coast of Cairns in search of the big black Marlin. Land a Barramundi just behind the beach of Gladstone or maybe try crab in lakes or estuaries. Nothing is better that spending a day fishing and getting back to the hotel and he grilled on the "barbie".
