All of these are great spots and you have some beautiful pictures - but there is a lot more to Australia than Queensland!

Hahaha - I was about to say something along the same lines ... obviously some serious Queensland love happening on this hub! But great places and I'm looking forward to visiting them all at some stage. Of course I'm very busy enjoying the southern Aus states ;)

I notice those ten best places are all in the state on Queensland, hmm? I might add Fraser Island - world heritage listed is the biggest sand island in the world and not far from Noosa and the sunshine hinterland.

Nice photo of "southbank" Brisbane the site of the 88'world expo it now has a huge man made beach with various pools built on the banks of the Brisbane river right in the heart of the city.
