If you already have a Queensland holiday booked \u2013 don\u2019t cancel as most tourism regions and operations are now up and running. If you don\u2019t have a Queensland holiday booked, book one!&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While Tourism Queensland of course\u00a0wants to promote tourism to their region, their message emphasizes a common sense that all travellers should be equipped with.\u00a0 Australia is a massive country; Queensland province alone is bigger than 90% of the world&#8217;s countries, and the flood has affected some but not all areas.<\/p>\n<p>To date, parts of Central Queensland, Queensland&#8217;s Outback, Western Downs and the Lockyer Valley continue to be affected by the floods and access to these areas is restricted, as are certain areas in the North and North-West of the province of Victoria. But other than those areas, most of the country is open for business.<\/p>\n<p>Most of Queensland\u2019s major tourism destinations including the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Fraser Coast, Bundaberg, Gladstone, Agnes Water, 1770, Whitsundays, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and Tropical North Queensland are accessible and tourism operations are open and ready to welcome you, including beaches, island resorts, accommodation providers, tour operators and attractions. All travellers are advised to check with tourist authorities to ensure the specific area you want to visit is operational.<\/p>\n<p>Visiting Australia at the moment is no different than the common sense you should apply to all travels anytime anyplace . Environmental catastrophes are of course part of life, but remember that life goes on despite environmental catastrophes.<\/p>\n<p>Stay clear of areas that are in a state of emergency, but realize that the damage caused by the floods hits only specific parts of a country, and not the entire nation. \u00a0 As always, if you travel safely and use good judgement, you will rarely be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p><em>*photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.queenslandholidays.com.au\" target=\"_blank\">Tourism Queensland <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As most of you are aware, Australia was hit with a series of significant floods in December and January.
