Beautiful one day, perfect the next goes the slogan advertising
the tropical delights of Australia's northern state.
It conjures up images of beaches, resorts, sailing in the
Whitsundays
and an outdoors lifestyle. Popular locations are the Gold
Coast and the Sunshine
Coast.
Queensland's hinterland and tropical
forests teem with interesting life, including major sites
of dinosaur fossils, and are an eco tourist's dream.
Then there are the bright lights of the major cities and the
state capital Brisbane
outshines them all.
