Hotels in Queensland, Australia

Queensland, in northeastern Australia, is famous for its tropical climate and the Great Barrier Reef. Summers (December-February) are hot and humid, perfect for snorkeling in the Coral Sea or hiking the Daintree Rainforest, while mild winters (June-August) are ideal for exploring Brisbane's street art and the Gold Coast's surf breaks. For a different vibe, head to the Outback around Longreach in winter to see kangaroos and learn about pioneer history at the Stockman's Hall of Fame.
