Answer 3

Queensland is famous for a range of things.

Because of its tropical climate there are many tropical fruits like mango, banana, pineapple, pawpaw etc grown there. It is also ideal sugar-cane country.

When people think of Queensland they mainly associate it with great beaches, great surf, great tans, and adventure parks.

Australia does not have Disney land, but there is a range of parks with rides and attractions and many are in Queensland on the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast. They include SeaWorld, Movie World, Wet 'n' Wild, Dreamworld, Underwater World, Australia Zoo, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

Queensland is one of just three states where opals are found, and there are many other precious stones found in central Queensland.

Queensland is famous for being where the Royal Flying Doctor Service started, and for where the School of the Air began. It is also the home of the Stockman's Hall of Fame, at Longreach, and also the home of QANTAS, Australia's national airline. The outback town of Winton celebrates the fact that Banjo Pateson's "Waltzing Matilda" was first performed there.

It is famous for Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef; for the skyrail between Kuranda and the outskirts of Cairns; for snorkelling and diving.
