Queensland (Australia) - Wink Travel Guide

Queensland is a state in northeastern Australia, famous for natural wonders, such as the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree National Park and Fraser Island.

With just short of 5 million inhabitants, most of them in South East Queensland, in or around the capital Brisbane and the Gold Coast resort city, much of the state is uninhabited, or very sparsely populated.

Climate shifts within Queensland; the inland west is desert, the north is tropical with a wet and a dry season, and the south-east is subtropical. In the southern winter, it is a popular getaway for Australians living in the south.
