FUN IN THE SUN. Laidback Queensland has it in spades, from romance and indulgence to edgy adventure and fun. Come here for a real taste of the tropics.

Try the rides at the Gold Coast theme parks, then walk barefoot on white, powdery beaches on one of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. The Sunshine Coast offers another great escape route. Try the Awesome Foursome at Airlie Beach – jetboat, helicopter, parasail and quad bike; dive on the Great Barrier Reef; feed the wild dolphins at Tangalooma or go croc-spotting on the Daintree River.
