There are three months in everyone's life where
the days stretch out longer, the hours are filled
with sweet possibility, and the beach is your
new postcode – hellooooooo, summer!
Queensland offers up some pretty epic
experiences all year, but in summer it
particularly shines. With all those thousands of
kilometres of coastline, months (yes, really!) of
sunshine, and the abundance of fresh summer
fruit (mangoes by the tray-full, anyone?), a
summer holiday in Queensland just makes
sense.
In this ebook we've tried to narrow down
the very best of the best in summer activities
across the state, from Tropical North
Queensland down to Southern Queensland
Country and everything in between.
From summer music festivals and the best
outdoor picnic spots, to chasing waterfalls and
sailing the open waters; laying a towel down
on the World's Best Beach or swimming with
turtles on the Great Barrier Reef. You really
would need an endless summer to tick them
all off your bucket list.
The only question left is, what experience
will you tackle first?

Yup. We know. With a state as big as ours, it's more than likely not all the epic

of the editors, based on their own first-hand experience and research, as well as
conversations with businesses and regional tourism operators. If something's
missing, let us know – because dang, we've got our snorkel packed and want to
know it too. And, yes, there could be a follow up!
Also, if you like what you read and are inspired to visit Queensland, don't
