| Australia's third largest city has a relaxed, easy-going ambience that is well suited to its moniker 'The City of Sundays'.

| Queensland, situated in the northeast corner of Australia, is the country's holiday playground attracting visitors all year round. It is known as the "Sunshine State", and the major attraction is the incredible underwater world provided off its coastline along the Great Barrier Reef. The Reef is a World Heritage listed marine park that stretches for more than 1,250 miles (2,000km) along the Queensland coast; it is dotted with idyllic island resorts and contains one of the most diverse animal and plant ecosystems on earth.
