Apart from having five of Australia’s eleven World Heritage areas Queensland is also renowned for its perfect weather, award winning beaches and some of the oldest dinosaur footprints in the world can be found in the outback town, Winton.
A caravanners delight
There are a large number of caravan manufacturers in Australia – Jayco hold the market share. But not many can claim to be “Australia’s longest Established Caravan Centre” like Kedron Caravans can. The family run business has been operating in QLD since 1962 and manufactures off road caravans in Brisbane’s northside.
Lifestyle and Sunland caravans also have reputations of building innovative off road camper trailers and caravans.

More than just natural beauty
We have big things up here. We have the Big Pineapple on the sunshine Coast, head a bit further north and you will see the Big Mango, the Big Brolga can be seen heading into Townsville, Blackhall has the Big Meat ant(!) and there is the Big Apple in Stanthorpe. We have spoken about Australia’s fixation with big things before.
Eating locally.
When in Rome…or Morton Bay you should definitely have Morton Bay Bugs! When in Bowen you indulge on Bowen mangoes. Bananas! 95% of Australia’s bananas come from North Queensland. Queensland has a huge peanut industry and is of course home to the pumpkin scone.
