Required clothes

Dress is generally casual throughout Queensland and, especially with the high temperatures, shorts and t-shirts etc are ideal for most of the year. A hat (particularly a one with a wide brim) would come in very handy to protect you from the sun. A light waterproof jacket is recommended during the green season (though it is definitely not cold!) and warm clothes for winter nights if you are venturing into the outback.

Queensland

Two-and-a-half times the size of Texas and seven times the size of the United Kingdom, Queensland, more than half of which lies above the Tropic of Capricorn, is known as the 'Sunshine State'. It is home to the Great Barrier Reef, many resort islands, miles of golden sandy beaches, lush rainforest and huge wilderness areas.

Tropical North Queensland
This unique region of the state is where we operate our tours and there are many attractions and activities to explore. You can cruise, snorkel or dive on the amazing Great Barrier Reef, relax on one of the beautiful tropical islands, take a 4WD safari to the outback, trek into some of the oldest rainforest in the world or do all of the above!

Aptly named the Wet Tropics, Far North Queensland experiences two distinct seasons (similar to the Top End of the Northern Territory). Average temperatures during the dry season (lasting approximately from May-November) vary from 14-26°C (57-79°F), though outback and highland areas can fall considerably below this during winter nights. July to August is a very busy time and booking accommodation and tours in advance is highly recommended. The green season begins with the first monsoonal rains, usually around the end of November, and between 75 and 90% of the annual rainfall is recorded during this time. Average green season temperatures range from 24-33°C (75-91°F).
