While you might be more familiar with the Great Barrier Reef than you are Queensland, the Australian state is a great discovery point for you in your Monterey Boat.



For Floridians producing Monterey Boats in the Sunshine State, we have great pride that we have a dealer in Australia's Sunshine State. Action Boating is at Runaway Bay, which is just south Brisbane, the state capital and largest city of Queensland. Runaway Bay has direct access to the Coral Sea off the Pacific Ocean, so you don't have to go far to try out a new Monterey Boat.



It is also extremely fitting that much of the climate, economy and geography of Queensland, where Monterey Boats are shipped to, is similar to Florida, where they are shipped from. The Gold Coast of Queensland is even referred to as "Australia's Theme Park Capital."



But for a Monterey Boat owner, the main attraction of Queensland is its coast. From exploring the Great Barrier Reef to the incredible diving opportunities, the northeast section of Australian offers many opportunities for boaters. The coast does have restrictions, especially around the reef. For information, go to http://www.gbrmpa.gov.au/visit-the-reef/zoning.



Queensland has more than 20 marinas and its 7,400 kilometers of coastline have beaches of every type, from the big surf beaches to the calm and tranquil water beaches.



Australians, of course, know Queensland well and flock there throughout the year. For visitors, a good place on the Internet to learn more is http://www.tq.com.au/index.cfm.
