Queensland with Brisbane and Cairns Travel Guide

A fusion of Florida, Las Vegas, and the Caribbean, Queensland attracts crowd lovers and escapists alike. Whether you want to soak in the Coral Sea, stroll from cabana to casino with your favorite cocktail, or cruise rivers and rain forests with crocs and other intriguing creatures of the tropics -- it's here.

Local license plates deem Queensland the "Sunshine State," a sort of Australian Florida -- a laid-back stretch of beaches and sun where many Australians head for their vacations. The state has actively promoted tourism, and such areas as the Gold Coast in the south and Cairns in the north have exploded, with high-rise buildings, casinos, and beachfront amusements popping up on every block.
