Nature and Wildlife

Experience nature at its finest in Queensland. With five World Heritage listed areas and kilometres of ocean and natural landscapes, the options are endless for a Natural Adventure.

The 3,000 individual reefs and coral islands of the Great Barrier Reef harbour thousands of fish and marine creatures.

Large tracks of significant dinosaur and fossil sites at Riversleigh are testament of a former inland sea that once dominated Queensland’s Outback. Just as the giant sand dunes and perched lakes of Fraser Island depict natural wonders like no other place in the world.

Queensland has an abundance of native Australian wildlife. Watch the progression of protected humpback whales on their journey along the Queensland coast. Access this awesome spectacle from numerous points along the coast from the Gold Coast to the Whitsundays.

Queensland beaches provide excellent environments for loggerhead, flatback, green and leatherback turtles. At the beginning of summer, visit Mon Repos and quietly watch up to 20 turtles slowly progress up the beach to lay eggs. And a few months later, see the hatchlings make a perilous journey to the Pacific’s edge.

Be awe-struck at the natural beauty of Queensland, take a Natural Adventure today.
