Queensland Cities, Towns and Regions
Queensland, on the north-east side of Australia, is Australia's
second largest state and covers almost one quarter of the continent.
Most of Queensland's population is based in the south-east corner where
you'll find Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
The Great Barrier Reef, tropical North Queensland and the Whitsunday Islands
are popular holiday destinations.
Brisbane, capital of Queensland, is where BCL (Brisbane
City Life) began and where we are still based. See the individual BCL sites for

Gold Coast,
