Moreton Island
There are many islands in Queensland, but Moreton is one of our favorites. The island, which boasts crystal-clear waters, a lush rainforest, historic lighthouses, and renowned natural wonders like Mount Tempest, the tallest coastal sand dune structure in the world, is nearly totally designated as National Park area.
K’gari /Fraser Island
It’s not difficult to understand why this Queensland treasure made this list since it is the largest sand island in the world. Four-wheel-driving is absolutely necessary because the 123-kilometer-long UNESCO World Heritage site is a beautiful maze of mangroves, eucalyptus trees, and rainforests encircled by long, flat coastal lanes.
Cape Tribulation
Make your way to picturesque Cape Tribulation, where the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest—one of the oldest rainforests in the world—meet, if you’ve ever wanted to experience what Queensland looked like when dinosaurs roamed the planet. Do you want to turn it into a road trip? Work your way down to Townsville from the peak of Cape Tribulation; this is where you’ll find the breathtaking Magnetic Island.
Rainbow Beach
This tiny beachfront community on the Cooloola Coast serves as Fraser Island’s entry point. But Rainbow Beach is so much more than its neighboring island. For an unintentional cardio workout and a few chilled drinks at the Rainbow Beach Hotel, head to the notorious Carlo Sandblow—if you’ve ever seen a picture of a huge sand dune in Queensland, this is certainly it.
