The best time to visit Queensland is during the drier months between June and October, outside of the hot and humid wet season, when you’re more likely to experience extreme weather events. This is also the best time to avoid the stinger season which runs between November to May.

The temperate climate means packing for a Queensland holiday package is easy – just don’t forget your swimmers!

Choosing where to holiday in Queensland depends on what type of Queensland holiday package you’re after! If it’s stylish streets full of buzzing cafes and restaurants, eclectic art galleries and treasure-worthy vintage shops, Brisbane is your first stop. Thrillseekers should make a beeline for the home of theme parks, the Gold Coast, while for beautiful beach bliss, it’s hard to look past Noosa and the Sunshine Coast.

Head further north to sail the Whitsunday Coast, stopping by the iconic Whitehaven Beach and throwing down anchor on your choice of tropical island –will it be Hamilton, Hayman or Daydream that takes your fancy? Wherever you perch, exploring the iconic underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef is a must.

However, a Queensland holiday package isn’t all about coastal exploring – hike through kilometres of rainforest and national park up and down the state, or venture to Central Queensland to find the historic towns of Longreach, Birdsville and Simpson Desert National Park.
