QUEENSLAND ISLANDS

The Queensland Islands and the Great Barrier Reef region are the jewels in Australia’s crown. Ascending from out of the rich blue
tropical waters lies an archipelago of green islands and sandy atolls. The Queensland and Whitsunday Islands lie scattered
along the entire state’s East Coast. Starting south from Brisbane and all the way north to Cairns. Whether you are after five star
pampering in a luxury island resort, a family holiday, romantic getaway or the chance to explore an uninhabited tropical paradise
there is an island experience that’s just right for you with so many options. Shimmering aquamarine waters, inviting stretches of
splendid isolation, miles of swimmable beaches and pristine white sands. The sheer idea of an island holiday is as seductive as the
reality. From your island escape you can cruise, snorkel, dive or simply just relax.
