Subtropical Australia stretches from Bundaberg in the north down through Byron Bay in the south and includes great beaches, some very pretty coastal and rainforest areas and some out of the way small towns.
Brisbane is a well laid out city, situated on a river some distance inland. It is one of Australia's fastest growing metropolitan areas.
Nearby is Surfer's Paradise, the Gold Coast and a range of family attractions, including Sea World, Warner Bros Movie World and Wet 'n Wild Water World.
The beaches of the area are indeed spectacular, and the inland forest areas of the Lamington National Park are intriguing for their prolific birdlife and wildlife. It is here you can really see Australian wildlife in the wild!
It is possible to plan your own self drive to the area, or you can include this area of sub tropical Queensland as part of an escorted group tour.
Working with a knowledgeable Australian Travel Planner to arrange and reserve an individualised, customised trip will make sure you use your time wisely.
