Admit it: you’re here for the beaches, aren’t you? Sure, we all know that Queensland’s also got great dining, a thriving, accessible indigenous culture and a healthy international vibe. But it’s the sun-kissed beaches, gentle warm sea and coral reef you’re really here for, isn’t it? Get Wet – don scuba or snorkel gear and head beneath the waves to check out the Great Barrier Reef’s colorful scenes Get Bronzed on some of Australia’s finest sun-kissed beaches in between dips in clear, warm waters to cool off Get Scared – whether dangling on the end of a bungy rope, leaping out of a plane or checking out a crocodile farm Get Stuffed – fill your face with fresh seafood at a posh Noosa eatery, sample eclectic international fare at Cairn’s restaurants, or enjoy café lattes and live music streetside in Brisbane
