Queensland
Queensland is home to some of the world’s most treasured natural wonders, the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest.
This region of Australia boasts beautiful beaches, idyllic islands and tropical rainforests. Queensland conjures images of Robinson Crusoe islands and magical underwater worlds and it doesn’t disappoint.
Stay in the atmospheric town of Port Douglas in the tropical north, where the rainforest meets the reef, or retreat from the world to spend days on the reef, snorkelling off hidden beaches, far from anyone. Further south, sail the azure waters of the Whitsundays or head to Fraser Island to search for dingo and surf the dunes on this, the worlds largest sand island.
The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is a World Heritage site extending 2,600 kilometres along Australia’s east coast. 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.
The Whitsunday Islands
The Whitsundays are 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 sailing holiday.

Clare Wiggins
My love for Asia began with living there. Based in Vietnam and then Malaysia, I also explored the surrounding regions before eventually finding my way back home via China and the Trans-Siberian railway. At Steppes Travel, I get to share that love for Asia every day, helping clients experience the places I know best as if they were locals themselves.
