South East Queensland is famous for its popular beaches, theme parks and tourist attractions. It’s also home to some of Australia’s most diverse wilderness areas. These are yours to explore on this 6 day self drive tour, which includes a full day at Fraser Island.
Just west of Brisbane, the Lockyer Valley forms the heart of South East Queensland’s farm country, producing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.
