Top 5 Travel Tips for Visitors Touring Queensland

August 6, 2022

With over 1000 ecosystem types, 5 World Heritage sites, stunning beaches and thriving urban centres, Queensland is one of the must-see regions of Australia. Read on for G&D Ross’ 5 best travel tips for Queensland.

Tip #1: When to Visit Queensland

The best time of year to visit Queensland is during Australian spring in September. The temperature is very pleasant, with sunny days and warm ocean waters. The tropical weather of this state makes it ideal for swimming and surfing throughout the year, but conditions are particularly favourable in spring. Contact G&D Ross bus charter for more tips on travelling comfortably in Queensland.

Tip #2: Island Hopping Along the Great Barrier Reef

Here’s a great local tip! The best way to see the iconic Great Barrier Reef is to island hop through the area. You and your family will get to see a different side of the great reef and get a chance to get out of the boat to really take in the majesty of this natural landmark. Check out Green Island if you’re coming from Cairns, or Daydream Island Resort in the Whitsundays. There’s also Lady Elliot Island in the South, where the kids can enjoy a beautiful eco resort.

Tip #3: Experience Nature the Queensland Way

One of Queensland’s most amazing experiences is a hiking trip in the stunning rainforests that dot the landscape. Springbrook National Park offers easy, leisurely shaded walks through ancient forests with waterfalls and caves. Fort Lytton National Park is close to Brisbane and features an incredible military history and a wide range of tours which take you through the area.

Make this great city your base so you can shop, dine, and take in the night life or set out for the Gold Coast or Great Barrier Reef, which are located nearby.
