Queensland
Queensland is a state in northeastern Australia. It is the second-largest and third-most populous of the Australian states. Queensland is known for its pristine beaches, tropical islands, and the Great Barrier Reef. The state is also home to a variety of other natural attractions, such as rainforests, mountains, and Outback deserts.
The capital of Queensland is Brisbane, a modern city with a population of over 2.5 million people. Brisbane is a major financial and cultural center, and is home to many museums, art galleries, and sporting events.
Other major cities in Queensland include the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Cairns, and Townsville. The Gold Coast is a popular tourist destination, known for its beaches, theme parks, and nightlife. The Sunshine Coast is another popular tourist destination, with a more relaxed atmosphere than the Gold Coast. Cairns is a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, and is also home to the Daintree Rainforest, one of the oldest rainforests in the world. Townsville is a major port city, and is also home to the Australian Army’s Lavarack Barracks.
