Adventures to Try When Traveling to Australia

Queensland

Queensland is the continent’s northeast region; a land full of rainforests and surfable beaches. At the top of any bucket list is snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef; comprising 134,634 square miles, it’s a literal underwater world waiting to be discovered, colorful inhabitants and all (just be sure to wear a sunscreen that doesn’t bleach the reef!). The inland equivalent is the Daintree Rainforest — the oldest rainforest in the world at a pinch past 135 million years old. Wander through a land that time seemed to forget as entire ecosystems are housed under this expansively dense canopy (you’ll never look at nature documentaries the same way again). Finally, if you’d prefer your day trip to be a more relaxing affair, pristine beaches are as abundant as shells on a beach. Palm Cove more than earns its name thanks to the countless idyllic palms adorning the golden sand. Cape Hillsborough is another prime choice — where else can you watch the sun rise in the company of kangaroos and wallabies?
