Australia Advice?

Question

I'm at the LA airport on my way to Queensland Australia... does anyone have some good advice for me, as far as what sites to see that maybe normal tourists wouldn't go to... I know about the Gold Coast and The Great Barrier Reef and so on, something original please...

Answer 1

along the gold coast try currumbin bird santuary, the honey factory sea world, movie word, wet'n'wild, surfers paradise, noosa and many more

Answer 2

sight seeing in queensland - off the beaten track - no normal tourists - well let's see.
first of all - if you want sites with no tourists then be prepared to drive as most coastal sites are serviced by buses/planes and most tourists travel along the coast from Gold Coast north to Cairns & Daintree area.
try the Southern Downs - Warwick/Allora/Killarney etc
Granite Belt area - Stanthorpe
Toowoomba & the Darling Downs
South Burnett/Bunya Mountains
Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Ipswich & the scenic Rim
Caboolture, Pine Rivers & Kilcoy
Stradbroke Island
Moreton Island
Hiking - Girraween National Park
Bunya Mountains National Park
Brisbane Forest Park
Canoeing - Lakes Maroon and Moogerah
Montville and Maleny - arts and crafts
Info on all the above can be found by googling.
Have a great visit & welcome to paradise!

Answer 3

First weekend in September go to the Birdsville races in southwest Queensland. It is an amazing experience and lots of fun. 10-12 August is the Mt Isa Rodeo, the biggest in Australia with entertainmant and events from now til the end of the rodeo.

If you go to Mt Isa, take a trip north to the Lawn Hill national Park. It is amazingly beautiful. Go up to Normanton on the Gulf of Carpentaria and take the ricketty old train to Croydon. I think it departs Normanton on a Wednesday morning and returns on the Thursday. You stay at the Croydon pub overnight.

Go out to Winton between Longreach and Cloncurry and make a trip 200km west to the dinosaur track exhibit. It is well worth the visit if you are in the area. Two or three times a week, the Tattersall's Hotel in Winton flies fresh fish in from the coast. If you are there on Fish Nght, expect an excellent dinner - and they have a superb wine list too.
