QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA (2026) | Best Places To Visit On A Road Trip From Brisbane To Cairns
Video Overview & Insights
Queensland is a vast state in northeastern Australia. It's a place of incredible diversity, from ancient tropical rainforests to stunning coastlines and the world-renowned Great Barrier Reef. We embarked on an amazing 3-week road trip from Brisbane to Cairns, a coastal journey of about 1,700 kilometers or 1,000 miles. In this video, we're sharing the most beautiful spots we discovered along the way, presented in the order that we visited them. This travel itinerary is easily reversible if you wanted to start in Cairns and make your way down to Brisbane instead.
i never knew australia was this well designed and beautiful.

Quick question, did you rent a car point to point? E.g. pick up in Brisbane and left it in Craine? How does that works?
