Massive rainforests, natural beaches, the dirt of the outback, Queensland has enough and more to make for an epic road trip
Queensland, the second-largest and third-most-populous state in Australia, has more 1.7 million square kilometres to uncover, so whatever the route you take, you’re heading in one direction—awesomeness.
Journey as far north as Cape York in Tropical North Queensland or trek alongside the New South Wales border via the Adventure Way, Queensland is best enjoyed at your own pace.
Here’s a quick purview of four road trips you can choose from
- Pacific Coast Way: Reef-rimmed beaches, fertile farmlands and a plethora of laid-back towns on this route from the Gold Coast to Cairns.
- Great Beach Drive: This trip connects the Sunshine Coast with the World Heritage-listed Fraser Island.
- Great Tropical Drive: The Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics rainforest are the major pit-stops for those who choose this path.
- Savannah Way: If you love the outbacks, this is the road to travel with its rugged landscapes, gorges and waterfalls, historic towns and cattle stations.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
