Your guide to visiting Queensland

Spring and summer are brilliant seasons for heading to Queensland.

World-class sporting clashes in tennis, cricket, rugby, motor sport and more are drawing the crowds – Queensland offers you a ringside seat.  Or perhaps you're planning on getting in on the sporting action yourself and testing yourself to your limits? It's a time for endurance sports and races for all ages. 

Below, find Time Out's guide to the big ticket events certain to tempt you on a northerly sojourn. In Queensland, it's all happening, and it's live.
