|
The state capital is Brisbane... current population 1.1 million. The most popular holiday destinations are the Gold Coast, Great Barrier Reef, Sunshine Coast plus Cairns and Port Douglas. Queensland is very diverse state. Visitors have a choice of energetic Gold Coast holidays, the more relaxed pace of Sunshine Coast holidays, the spectacular Great Barrier Reef or adventures in Tropical North Queensland and the remote gulf country. The countryside ranges from virgin rain forest to dry outback and from equatorial tropics to cool plateaus.
The state consists of a narrow coastal belt that runs the length of the state and which is home to the majority of tourism regions, the larger cities and towns and holiday centres. The higher rainfall on this coastal belt supports a large sugar industry, most of which is in the northern part of the state.o Once you head away from the coast and cross the Great Dividing Range you'll enter lush tablelands in the north of the sate, rolling cattle country grasslands and coal mines in the state centre and the rich grain farming country of the south. Keep heading west and you'll experience the Queensland Outback which becomes drier and more sparsely populated as you progress further inland.
