Cockatoos and kookaburras greet the day which, despite it being midwinter, looks likely to hit the early twenties again. Bright tropical flowers and impossibly green lawns line the route to your new favourite café. Alas, a long weekend is not enough to enjoy all the delights that Brisbane has to offer. After brunch and a few hours browsing the markets you’ll barely have time to change into something sensational before you hit the thriving nightlife. At least the airport is only 20 minutes from the city centre so you’ll be able to stretch your stay to the last possible minute. You’re already planning your next visit so you can venture a little further afield, including a day trip to stunning Moreton Island, just an hour’s boat ride away.

If you thought that all this sunny state had to offer was theme parks, zoos and a great big reef, you couldn’t be more wrong – besides stunning beaches, a seemingly endless supply of sunshine and enough fun parks to entertain the entire family for a couple of weeks, there’s a whole lot more on offer. Let’s start with the World Heritage listed rainforest of the Tropical North, home to more fascinating creatures than you could poke a stick at (not that you’d want to). Spend a few hours in the Daintree with the original locals and you’ll come away with an inkling of some of their secrets and a greater appreciation for its wealth of precious resources. If you’re a wildlife nut, go dingo spotting on Fraser Island, humpback whale watching in Hervey Bay or croc hunting (with a camera, of course) at Cape Tribulation. None of that appeals either? Why not head inland for some time as a jackaroo (or jillaroo) on a vast working cattle ranch, have a flutter at the Gold Coast races or discover the region’s finest fresh produce on a gourmet food tour. And when you’re finished with all that excitement, there’s a very good chance you’ll be looking forward to flopping on one of those beautiful beaches after all.

As you approach the hairpin bend near the crest of a mountain, you’re treated to the sight of the clear blue waters of the Pacific Ocean spread out before you. You have no choice but to park by the side of the road and take a moment to enjoy the magnificent vista before you. You’re driving along the Pacific Coast of Queensland, one of the most beautiful drives in the country!

West of the Paciﬁc are driving routes through the savannah grasslands of Tropical North Queensland and in the Outback you can follow in the footsteps of the country’s pioneers. In South East Queensland explore the picture-postcard countryside and meandering mountain ranges. These are just some of the great driving adventures to be found in Queensland.

This is a suggested Self Drive itinerary and is to be used in conjunction with a road map. Take to the Tracks As you gaze out your window and witness the sheer size and beauty of the Queensland landscape, say a mental "thank you!" to the Queensland Government, who in 1865 recognised that rail was the best way to provide regular, efﬁcient access to people, places and goods in areas that were otherwise difﬁcult to reach. The Queensland rail system boasts a total route network of over 8,000 kilometres, which means that wherever you’re planning to holiday there’s no better way to see it than by rail. It’s a great way to get from A to B and also for exploring. The Explorer Pass, for example, gives you unlimited stops from Brisbane to Cairns, making it the perfect way to travel almost the entire East Coast of Queensland. It also allows you to head into the Outback, taking in centres like Mt Isa and Longreach. Rail provides a fascinating insight into this country, so if your journey is just as important as your destination, then rail is a great choice.
