Queensland is the second largest state in Australia and is home to Australia's third largest city, Brisbane (pop 1.2 million). The Gold Coast further to the south is the other main area of population.

Queensland boasts thousands of kilometers of beautiful coastline and amazing World Heritage areas such as:
- Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island
- The Great Barrier Reef which runs 2000km up the Queensland coast
- Australia's Tropical Rainforests of Tropical North Queensland
- The Central Eastern Rainforest Reserve

Queensland also contains vast areas of desert, which Australians call the Outback. The Outback starts at the western side of the Great Dividing Range, and eventually runs into the Northern Territory.

Queenslands capital is the vibrant river city of Brisbane.
