Queensland
Queensland is home to some of the world’s most treasured natural wonders such as the Great Barrier Reef and the ancient Daintree Rainforest, this region boasts beautiful beaches, perfect islands and tropical rainforests.
Visit The Whitsundays, made up of 74 beautiful tropical islands located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.
Only a handful of the 74 islands have resorts on them, and most are beautiful, tropical deserted islands which make a fabulous option for a boating holiday.
Further north, the tropical North Queensland is where the rainforest meets the reef. Port Douglas is a relaxed and sophisticated town and the perfect base from which to explore two World Heritage Listed areas – the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. The town boasts a beautiful beach, some of Australia’s best restaurants and a good selection of accommodation.
The Great Barrier Reef is a World Heritage site extending 2,600 kilometres along Australia’s east coast. The Reef’s diversity reflects the maturity of the ecosystem, which has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. It is the world’s most extensive coral reef system and is one of the planet’s richest areas in terms of faunal diversity containing 400 types of coral, 1,500 species of fish, and 4,000 types of mollusc.
The reef is also the habitat of whales, dolphins, dugongs, large turtles, a variety of harmless sharks and it is an important habitat for seabirds, shore and land birds.

Amy Waters
After my degree in Fine Art I didn’t really know what career I wanted or what path I would take. The only thing I knew is that having spent a summer in America it had given me the desire to explore and see as many places as possible before becoming a grown up and entering the real world.

Clare Higginson
It was my passion for languages that first encouraged me to leave the UK behind and grab my rucksack. Since then, it’s been a mixture of intriguing cultures, jaw-dropping landscapes and the wonder of seeing animals in their natural habitat that sees me continuously extending my travel wish list. I also seek adventure; exploring the deep blue or hiking a peak often winning favour. Although it’s my time horse herding in Mongolia that I regularly want to relive. Talk with our experts
