Dream vacation in Australia: exploring Queensland
Vacations in Australia are a dream for many – through the rainforest, the outback or the deep blue. We'll show you what you shouldn't miss on your trip.
Australia is a dream destination for anyone captivated by vast open landscapes, lush tropical rainforests, and the shimmering turquoise of the Great Barrier Reef. Queensland, located in the country’s northeast, showcases some of Australia’s most breathtaking contrasts. Between red desert earth and dense rainforest, outback and ocean, adventure and luxury, the region reveals the very best the country has to offer. Let us show you what makes your dream vacation »Down Under« so extraordinary.
I have traveled through Australia over 30 times now – on my travels through Queensland I got to know the real Australia. From road trips on the red tracks in the outback, bushwalks through the lush green rainforest in the tropical north or exploring the vibrant city of Brisbane. The diversity of Queensland is simply extraordinary.

Outback Queensland - where the heart of Australia beats
The outback in Queensland shows the origin of Australia - from breathtaking nature to endless horizons. The warm hospitality tells stories from the time of the pioneers and makes you feel like you've traveled back in time. The towns of Longreach, Winton or Mount Isa in the north of the state of Queensland allow you to experience Australia's past up close. Learn more about aircraft at the Qantas Founders Museum. In the Stockman's Hall of Fame, you can learn more about Australia's heritage through interactive exhibitions, discover stories from the nation's past and gain insights into the culture and people of this country. Further south, places like Quilpie and Charleville enchant with farm stays and the hot springs along the »Wellness Way«.
Tropical North Queensland - Where rainforest meets reef
The north of the state is characterized by tropical rainforest – the »Daintree Rainforest«, known as the oldest rainforest in the world, meets the »Great Barrier Reef«, the largest coral reef. Hiking through the rainforest, sailing on the vast ocean or snorkeling with sea turtles on the Whitsunday Islands - Australia presents itself from its most beautiful side. The best time to visit the Cairns and Great Barrier Reef region is in the dry season, from May to October. The climate here is dry, sunny and warm – ideal conditions for reef excursions, hikes through the rainforest and trips to the sea.
Experience accommodation - more than just a hotel room
Instead of a normal hotel room with four walls, the »Australia Tours« accommodation provides a little variety. Glamping at the »Mitchell Glass Retreat« in Longreach or the »Rangelands Outback Camp« in Winton combines nature experiences from classic camping with comfort and luxury.
Queensland also impresses in the luxury segment with extraordinary hideaways: the »Silky Oaks Lodge« in the Daintree Rainforest is an exclusive oasis – surrounded by tropical greenery and accompanied by the sound of the rainforest. Equally unique: »Lizard Island« in the Great Barrier Reef. A private island where luxury and nature combine to create an incomparable experience.
