A month ago I had the opportunity to head back and explore one of my favorite regions of Australia – Queensland.
Queensland is a place I keep coming back to because it just has so much to discover. From beautiful warm beaches to tropical coral reefs to dense rainforest to the Outback, I can’t get enough. Even now my list of what I want to do there keeps growing.
For someone who loves to tick things off lists, Queensland is making that hard. Especially because there are so many things to do in Townsville.
One of my favorite things about Australia and especially in North Queensland are all of the local swimming holes to cool down in.
Since it was tropical and hot, one of the first things I did after arriving was to drive town to Alligator Creek to go for a swim and little explore.
Tucked away between Cairns and the Whitsundays, two places I’ve spent some time and loved quite a bit, I knew I was in for a treat. The gateway to so many great spots in North Queensland, Townsville was the perfect mix of urban jungle and scenic nature. Cute and quirky, my favorite.
If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen some of these shots already, but I wanted to go ahead and share a few more with you all.
And did I mention it’s insanely colorful, bright and beautiful? You guys know how I feel about colorful destinations, so it wasn’t hard for me to enjoy my time in Australia. Especially knowing that I was headed back to winter in New Zealand. Cringe.
