The Great Barrier Reef is the most famous World Heritage site in Queensland. It is something everyone should see at least once in their life. The reef goes along the coast from Bundaberg in the south to Cape York in the north. It is even bigger than New Zealand and can be seen from space.
Brisbane is known as one of the more affordable cities in Australia. It is cheaper to live in than big cities like Melbourne and Sydney. Even though it is more affordable, Brisbane still has many good schools, job opportunities, and a high quality of life.
In 2025, regional Queensland had the biggest rent increase in all of Australia’s regional areas. Rent went up by 8.6 percent, reaching $630 a week. This made regional Queensland the most expensive regional place to rent in the country. Regional Western Australia was second, with rent at $620 a week.
Here is a simple way to figure out how much rent you can afford. Use 30% of your weekly income before tax to set your rental budget. To do this, multiply your weekly gross income by 0.30. For example, if you earn $1,000 each week before tax, your weekly rent should be around $300.
