When it comes to natural wonders Queensland, Australia has it all. From the largest reef in the world, the Great Barrier Reef, to the oldest rainforest on the planet, the Daintree, this is a place to re-connect with nature, have an adventure and be inspired by the indigenous cultures that have lived here for thousands of years.
Taking us there are travel writer Karen Edwards, who’ll be recounting tales from her latest trip, and Queensland local Sarah Thomson, who’ll be giving us the insider secrets on the places she loves the most (there are a lot of them!).
These are the colours of Queensland: Ocean blue, forest green and outback red.
Highlights include:
- Peering under the waves into the technicolour world of the Great Barrier Reef
- Going on an aboriginal led walking tour through the more than 180-million year old Daintree Rainforest
- Exploring the food, stars and legendary local characters of the outback
- Getting the lowdown on three ‘dream sleeps’ - bucket list places to stay for each colour, including a hotel under the waves.
- Finding out what our expert’s ultimate Queensland itinerary is - two perfect weeks in one of the most diverse destinations on the planet.
