Queensland Holidays - Queensland's Luxury Journeys - Central Queensland Adventure

Central Queensland Adventure

Exquisite Great Barrier Reef coral cays are strung like a many-coloured necklace of glittering gems hugging the coastline of Central Queensland. This is the place to paddle your own kayak in meandering creeks and walk at low tide on coral reefs and on sandbanks where you can still see indentations left behind by giant rays. Discover pretty rural towns and tiny seaside villages, and at the southern end of the region are the coloured sands and wind-driven sand blows, rainforests and creeks of World Heritage Fraser Island.

Take a journey beyond imagining to the Great Barrier Reef and its adjacent coastal national parks. You must go in order to believe in an otherwise unbelievable beauty of colourful reefs and marine life and lush rainforested mountains.
