Cairns
Although totally underrated, Cairns is a beautiful city and has some of the best wildlife and more. You might not think Cairns has beautiful beaches, scenic railways, a rainforest and amazing wildlife, but it does and that makes it an excellent place to travel in Queensland.
As an added bonus, if you go a bit outside of the city you’ll also find lots of coffee plantations so if you’re a coffee addict than this is totally the place for you. Or not. Depends how you look at it.
Whitsundays
It’s hard to imagine a more gorgeous, heavenly place than the Whitsundays. Stunning white sand beaches, the Great Barrier Reef, crystal clear and aqua-colored water, it’s one of the most beautiful places on earth. With about 7,000 km of coastline, 150 islands and the Great Barrier Reef (unlike anything else in the world) this is a unique and breathtaking place in Queensland that you must travel to if you’re in Australia.
Fraser Island
Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world and if that’s not cool enough for you, there are beautiful beaches, dream-worthy lakes, great hiking and fantastic food. While of course Fraser Island isn’t somewhere you go if you want to be around cities and beaches together, it’s an amazing place to go and just relax in a beautiful setting.
Magnetic Island
You may be wondering about the name of this island and it comes from the fact that in the 1700s people noticed the island messed with their compasses, however, no reason has ever been discovered for that. This intrigue only adds to the beauty that is already has to offer. With incredible fishing and hiking, the seafood is also to die for. And if you’re into adventuring and exercising, they host the yearly Magnetic Island Adventurethon in March/April.
Queensland is a beautiful part of Australia, but these places to Travel in Queensland top all of the lists. Get a taste for wildlife, cities, food, and incredible views to last you a lifetime.
