With calm, clear blue water on its fringes, it’s no wonder that one of the country’s premier sailing events culminates in Gladstone, on the Central Queensland coast. And it happens just in time for a celebration of the city’s bustling harbour!

For sea voyages of a more historic kind — head to the Town of 1770, you can witness a re-enactment of the first landing in Queensland of Captain Cook.

Up for a round of golf? What better way to enjoy the game than on an 18 hole championship course.

Keen anglers will be eager to test their tackle at Australia’s biggest family fishing competition.

For an awe-inspiring experience pay a visit to the caves of Central Queensland during the Summer Solstice. With the sun directly overhead, a beam of dazzling bright sunlight penetrates through a 14 metre vertical shaft into the darkened cavern below.

For dazzling of a different kind, be sure to visit the Sapphire Gemfields. Grab your pan and pick your plot. Who knows, you might just strike it rich!
