This is my beloved home state. While I wasn’t born here (I came into the world in the Northern Territory), this is where I live, was raised, and have spent the most time, especially in South East Queensland, where I reside with Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Ipswich and Toowoomba and the many national parks between them being the places I have explored the most extensively.
Beyond that, I’ve made two trips to Gympie and Rainbow Beach, had a week at Hervey Bay and Maryborough, enjoyed a month exploring the Bundaberg region, and have been out to Kingaroy and the Bunya Mountains a few times to name a few, so I know the territory well, and how to make the best of the states famous warm weather and its renowned beaches and everything, from beautiful forests to its incredible natural wild swimming waterholes, in between, at least in this parts.
