Beaches, desert, and emerald forest all make their home in northeast Australia, so you can sample a bit of everything in just one short trip. Best of all, when you score cheap flights to Queensland from Expedia.com.au, you can afford an extra whale watching tour or treat yourself to more time at the Great Barrier Reef.

Exploring Queensland

Queensland has two main seasons: wet and dry. During monsoon season, from October to May, you may be met with lots of precipitation as you explore the coast. Conditions are particularly wet north of Brisbane during this time of year. If you visit QLD during the rainy season, touring the Queensland Museum & Sciencentre might be a better pastime than kayaking just offshore. That being said, the water remains warm throughout most of the year, so make your way from Sydney to Brisbane for some swimming in the off-season if you dare.

During the dry season, from April to September, you will find no shortage of outdoor adventure. Go horseback riding on the beach in Townsville, North Queensland, or jump into the crystal clear waters near the Whitsundays islands. April to October is also the best window for diving at the Great Barrier Reef—visibility is at its peak.

Expedia.com.au always has great deals on airfare to Queensland. Flights to the Brisbane Airport will leave you with a healthy budget for eating fine food and taking tours of the Outback. Whether you're flying from Melbourne to Brisbane or making your way to QLD from afar, your adventure in northeast Australia starts on Expedia.com.au today!
