What’s so Van-Tastic about Queensland?

You need to upgrade your Flash Player

Hooh-ahhhh! Behold the Sunshine State: beautiful one day, perfect the next. We especially like its long stretches of white sandy beaches, the spectacular Great Barrier Reef (2500km of octopus’s garden, thankyou very much), the world's oldest Tropical Lowland Rainforest (130 million candles on last year’s cake), Fraser Island (the world’s largest sand island and just waiting for the world’s largest sandcastle), the fair dinkum Outback and the magical Whitsunday Islands... The social side of Queensland is enough to fry Facebook: live music, events and parties mean the road is never lonely. Geoff recommends: “Cooling your wheels on a Noosa beach under the moonlight.”

Full moon party on Magnetic Island, cruise the Whitsundays …feel the sand between your toes. Take the inland road and count the kangaroos on an outback farmstay or take in the bright lights of Brisbane and dazzling beaches of the Gold Coast. It doesn’t matter which path you choose, in Queensland every road leads to an adventure.
