Discover Queensland’s’ camping oasis

Australia is characterized by its majestic scenery that brings up the adventurous spirit of those who visit it. One of the most frequent destinations is the state of Queensland, better known worldwide for bordering the Great Barrier Reef and for its paradisiacal beaches, which are a frequent spot for practice water sports. Also, the national parks are great for motorcycling thanks to their winding and panoramic trails.

 

 

Hundreds of travelers gather annually in Queensland with the intention of having a complete experience camping in its different landscapes. Very close to the Great Barrier Reef are the famous Lady Musgrave and Lizard Island cays, where their beaches are usually crowded for snorkeling, as well as gentle bike or foot walks.

 

 

On the other hand Fraser Island, previously called K’Gari until being renamed in 2023, is the largest sandy terrain in the world and its dunes offer an incredible opportunity for motorcycling, while you discover the biodiversity that makes up its surroundings. There’s a reason why it was named “World Heritage” by UNESCO in 1992.

 

Beyond the coast you can find Daintree and Carnarvon Gorge national parks, two wooded forests for outdoor camping. The Daintree Rainforest is the largest in the country with 1,200 km2, and although Carnarvon Gorge is not far behind in length, it stands out mainly for its aboriginal value and geological importance, as there are records of cave paintings in the rock formations.

 

 

 

Of course, after a peaceful stay in the mother nature of Queensland, its winding roads will be waiting for the most daring motorcyclists.

Australia is home to one of the thousands “World Heritage Sites” declared by UNESCO: Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock. This imposing monolith is located in the heart of the Australian Outback, being a sacred place for the Pitjantjatjara Aboriginal people, so it’s forbidden to climb on the surface since 2019 at their request, however, it’s possible to visit its surroundings and that makes it an attraction point for travelers from all over the world.

 

 

Making the trip by motorcycle is unparalleled and an experience that allows you to enjoy the beauty of the Northern Territory. The starting point goes from Alice Springs to the Stuart Highway that crosses the vast Australian Outback, then it heads west on the Lasseter Highway, which offers spectacular views of the desert and Mount Conner, another impressive rock formation in the region.

 

 

     

 

As the route progresses, Ayers Rock emerges on the horizon, showing the entrance to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Nearby is another famous rock formation called Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), that can also be included in the tour.

 

 

It’s highly recommended to arrive early and enjoy the sunset watching the stars. The Monument, among many things, is one of the darkest places on Earth, that’s why it’s possible to stay camping in the vicinity of the park, allowing an authentic connection with nature and proximity to Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

No doubt Sunshine Coast has a lot to offer to the public, not only because of its environmental diversity, which ranges from the most paradisiacal beaches to dense and deep forests. The city also has an extensive schedule of activities that allow you to enjoy the sun, routes, and crystal-clear waters.

 

Speed freaks will find impressive roads to travel by motorcycle thanks to the 790-kilometer long Pacific Highway, which is why it’s considered an important transport route through the central east coast. Along the way, you can find some viewpoints to legendary moors such as Glass House Mountains and Wild Horse Mountain, formations that were born from extinct volcanoes approximately 25 million years ago.

 

       

 

All-terrain bikes are not the only option as the coast enables bus tours with guides for a more detailed visit. Some stops on these tours are at popular bars to taste Australian craft beer, highly acclaimed worldwide.

 

 The renowned Australia Zoo, owned by Steve Irwin’s family, is not to be missed during a trip to Queensland. The enclosure was inaugurated on June 3, 1970, and to date they maintain their objective of preserving the animal species of birds, mammals, and reptiles continuing with the legacy of the

 

 

already deceased “Crocodile Hunter”. Inside its facilities is the Mount Franklin Crocoseum, a venue for concerts and local shows.

 

Of course, the main attraction of the Sunshine Coast lies in its golden beaches. Noosa Main Beach and Mooloolaba Beach are the most popular due to their calm tide ideal for swimming placidly or taking a walk on the warm sand. Also, in the surroundings are several regional restaurants to eat a good meal, although there’s the possibility of preparing a homemade barbecue near the sea.

  

Mooloolaba Beach is also known for being home to the Cartwright Lighthouse, where picnics are allowed to watch the sunset, as long as it does not pollute the environment.

 

And if it comes to water activities, Noosa National Park allows you to explore marine life with kayaking, diving, and surfing practices, as well as hiking for those who prefer to explore the land.
