Cheers to the end of another epic whale season! 🐋 It's time to say goodbye to the traffic that's been making a splash around our coastline - but not for long! These incredible creatures will be gracing us with their presence once again from April to November next year 👏 As we bid farewell, we're already looking forward to more breathtaking moments like this 👆with Spirit of Gold Coast whale watching, where you can witness whales cruising past @Experience Gold Coast’s iconic city skyline 🌇 🎥: IG/lindareynolds_ 📍: Gold Coast, @Queensland, Australia #SeeAustralia #ComeAndSayGday #ThisIsQueensland #GoldCoast ID: Whales breaching the ocean's surface on a clear, sunny day with a city skyline in the background.

Tropical rainforests, unspoilt islands and the world's biggest reef? Nah yeah, we reckon Cairns is pretty alright 😉 There are so many adventures to be had around Gimuy (#Cairns) that the hardest part of a holiday here is choosing where to start. Here are a few epic moments you won't want to miss ☝️ 🎥: @Tropical North Queensland 📍: Gimuy (#Cairns), #TropicalNorthQueensland, @Queensland, Australia #SeeAustralia #ComeAndSayGday #ThisIsQueensland #ExploreCairnsGBR ID: Text over video reads 5 things to do around Cairns, followed by a montage of scenes including people admiring enormous waterfalls, exploring a white sand island, jumping into rivers wearing safety gear, snorkelling with a rainbow of fish and admiring marine creatures in an aquarium.

Bowen’s famous Walk to the Lighthouse is an absolute must! ☀️💦🌴😍 Starting from Dalrymple Point on the mainland, it took us around 25mins to walk to one of Queensland’s oldest lighthouses on North Head Island. The views are incredible and keep your eye out for all the huge red starfish and sea cucumbers along the way! Make sure you wear reef shoes or some old sneakers and it’s recommended to only attempt this on a low tide of around 0.2m. Start the walk around an hour before the low tide mark to allow enough time to return. 😀 #visitbowen #bowen #lovewhitsundays #lighthousewalk #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia @Visit Whitsundays @Queensland, Australia @Australia
