 Fearless Croc. by unravelau Keep your eyes peeled for signs like this one as there are a number of turns to be made off the major road to eventually arrive at the Zoo. This sign tells you to take the Beerwah exit............could have done with a beer at that stage too. Leave a Comment

by bijo69 I travelled from Brisbane to Cairns by bus. Got myself a mini travel pass which is valid for 45 days and allows unlimited stops between the two towns (no backtracking). The cheapest version of that pass is obtained & maintained online, 231 AU$ (Nov. 06). Usually you have two or more buses covering the distance you want to travel. The buses used weren't brandnew, but still comfortable with onboard toilet. They were mostly on time, just once I had to wait for more than 30 min. Competitor Premier has cheaper fares, but there's just one bus per day and you might end up having to wait for the bus at 2am... Leave a Comment

 Brisbane Airport by ATXtraveler As there are many airports throughout Queensland, I thought I would emphasize the only International Airport within this state. Direct flights from the US, NZ, and Southeast Asia find their way to Brisbane or as it is affectionately known, Bris-Vegas. The airport does not seem very large, and was easy to negotiate, although we were disappointed at how small their carry-on luggage limits were. Only 7kgs is rather small for carry-on, and we needed to check our bags which caused us delays. All in all, there was a good food selection in the airport, and the rental car was easy to get to.

 Southern Moreton Bay Tourist Drive by ATXtraveler During your trip throughout Queensland, look at the color of the sign to determine which type of road you are going to be using: Blue Signs indicate tollways Green Signs indicate standard highways Brown Signs indicate tourist or scenic roads. Hope your trip to Queensland was as fun as mine! Leave a Comment

 Queensland Tilt Train by wise23girl Queensland is a large place compared to places like UK, France, Ireland and other European countries and it takes some "getting around" especially once you leave the south-east corner. Even if you hire a car distances are long and you see miles (kilometers) of similar stuff as you head out of the populated areas.This is mind boggling if you are not expecting it and difficult to comprehend. There are also special road conditions to be aware of. You would be wise to stop at driver reviver free coffee places as going to sleep at the wheel is a killer. I remember the strange feeling when I saw mirages in the very hot weather when travelling in the outback. Beware of hitch hikers.They are not all friendly. Unfortunately some nasty incidents have occurred on lonely roads. We have trains going north from Brisbane which branch west from key coastal towns. The tilt train is our most modern service on the northern run. Buses will take you to a number of places but things become more primitive as you head north until you reach those same key places such as Rockhampton. From the air Rocky is just a speck in a sea of nothingness. Planes leave Brisbane airport for a good number of Queensland towns...not jumbo jets though. Do your homework before venturing too far away from civilization Leave a Comment Theme: Train

by richiecdisc We arrived by train from New South Wales. Traveled up the coast by train as well, but lots of other modes of getting around like . . . this four wheel drive bus on Fraser Island. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

If you are in surfers paradise then the bus is the easiest mode of transport to use. The IA bus will take you to most of the theme parks and you can also visit the factory outlets on harbour town. Theme: Bus
