Outback Queensland Adventure Brisbane > Cairns NEW FOR 2021

14 Day Tour

A land of fossils and folklore Australia is a unique land in many ways. Celebrate its quirks and hidden jewels during this 14-day itinerary. From a museum dedicated to a famous bush ballad, to a veritable ‘dinosaur country’ – a treasure trove of ancient fossils, you will see a side of Queensland you never knew existed. .

Discover the fascinating beginnings of the Australian oil and gas industry, learn about the role a small town in the heart of Queensland played in World War II, find out what is so special about the shire of “Curry”, and take home the prized Tambo Teddy. Travel to Winton, the birthplace of the famous ‘Waltzing Matilda’, and perhaps you can still hear the poet’s ghost humming the ballad as you pass through. Of course, no Queensland experience is complete without a visit to Australia’s crowning glory, the natural wonder of Great Barrier Reef, and you will have many opportunities to explore its kaleidoscopic corals with an expert.
