With outback plains to the west, numerous national parks and brightly coloured reef islands, Central Queensland is a diverse series of landscapes with plenty of hidden gems in between.<\/p>\n\n

Start at Gladstone for an unforgettable weekend away on a Southern Great Barrier Reef<\/a><\/u> resort island, hop onto a ferry at Yeppoon for a family camping trip on the white sandy beaches of Great Keppel Island, or be exclusive and book out the pristine Pumpkin Island.<\/p>\n\n

You don\u2019t have to take to the sea to disconnect. The coastal towns of 1770<\/a><\/u> and Agnes Waters have secluded beaches and tranquil bushwalking trails aplenty, and you can lose yourself for an afternoon gazing upon priceless Australian art at Rockhampton<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n\n
