Tazzette by Tazzette Talking(January 2007) (rank 496th)

Re: Things to do in Queensland
Queensland certainly is an awesome place to take older kids on holidays - with all the theme parks etc.  I love all the wildlife places too, I can't wait to get Jaydee up there to look around - especially Dream World which is my fav, and Australia Zoo - he is a wildlife warrior and a massive Bindi fan.

QLD rocks

I will have to look at your advice for other states as well. Living in QLD I know most of the great things I can do with the kids but I'd love some ideas of what to do if I go interstate (kids loved taronga zoo)

Have you thought (or perhaps someone already has one) of doing advice on free activities in different states?
