Pros: The Great Barrier Reef, many other interesting destinations. Cons: So much to see so little time. It is far away from the U.S.
In August of 2005 we spent three weeks in Australia (two adults, and three kids 11, 8, and 6 years old). We visited Sydney and the Blue Mountains for a few days and the rest of the time we spent in Queensland, which is Australia's second largest state ...
Pros: big, big spaces, freedom and a love of the land Cons: remoteness
If there's one aspect of the outback that fascinates people worldwide it's the size and remoteness of cattle and sheep stations (ranches) spread over the vast interior of the Australian continent.
Pros: Gorgeous scenery, from beautiful beaches to rainforests, to mountains plunging into the sea. Cons: Never enough time to see it all!
North Queensland, dramatically beautiful with lush rainforests, spectacular beaches, eucalyptus woodlands, fields of sugarcane and, within easy reach, the Great Barrier Reef! What more could one ask for?
Pros: Wonderful People Cons: Long Way from Houston

From Cape York to Coolangata, the Glasshouse Mountains to Brisbane, there is not one downfall in Queensland. Sandy sunburnt beaches and lush tropical Rainforests make this State one not to be missed.

Review Topic: Overview
Well I can tell you where to get your fill of the most beautiful scaley things ever.
The Great barrier Reef has some of the most wildly colored scales any fish would be proud to wear. Scintilliating,...
Pros: Glitz, glamour and plenty of people Cons: The crowds and the hype
I've just returned from a six night stay on the Gold Coast. The first piece of advice for prospective travellers - Don't go during the Christmas/New Year break, particularly if you wish to unwind and relax. This seems an obvious statement, but regardless...
