Safety:Safe

Queensland is generally quite safe for solo female travelers. Like anywhere else, it's important to take reasonable precautions such as avoiding isolated areas at night and being aware of personal belongings at all times. Cities like Brisbane and Gold Coast have reliable and safe public transportation services. However, natural hazards like dangerous wildlife or extreme weather conditions exist. Oz is known for its strong sun, so don't forget your sunscreen! Overall, a safe but keen awareness of surroundings is recommended.

Transport:Easy

Queensland is quite navigable, with ample options for transportation including buses, trains, trams, and ferries. The major cities have reliable public transportation systems, and the destinations are well-connected. Signages are also clear, which aids in navigation. However, certain remote areas can be slightly challenging to reach without private transport. It's advisable to plan your travel itinerary beforehand to avoid any inconveniences.

Things to do:Fascinating

Traveling solo in Queensland offers a myriad of experiences. From exploring the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, enjoying the natural beauty of the Daintree Rainforest, to basking in the sun-kissed beaches along the Sunshine and Gold Coast, the possibilities are endless. Queensland also offers a host of outdoor activities - including coastal hikes, scuba diving, and wildlife spotting. The state is also rich in indigenous culture, with opportunities to learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditions. The unique blend of natural and cultural attractions makes Queensland a must-visit destination.

Food:Above average

Queensland offers a fantastic array of cuisines, including fresh seafood from its coastline, exotic fruits from its tropical rainforests, and locally-grown farm produce. It showcases a brilliant balance of traditional Australian dishes as well as multi-cuisine options due to its cultural diversity. While a culinary delight, it might not cater to some of unique dietary requirements and may lack a bit in terms of vegan and vegetarian offerings.

Budget:Moderate

Queensland, can be moderately budget-friendly. Accommodation prices range, but budget options are available. Eating out can be somewhat expensive, but savings can be made by self-catering. Public transportation and sightseeing prices are reasonable. However, some major attractions, like the Great Barrier Reef tours, can significantly impact your budget.

Solo travel experience

Let the devils take Brisbane, it's boring. You need to go to Fraser Island off the coast of Queensland, it's the largest sandy island in the world. (About 3/4 hour north of Brisbane) One day is not enough, it's best to book 2-3 days. It is also close to Bundaberg, where depending on the season you can observe whales / watch turtles hatch. And dive on the coral reef. Gold Coast (1 hour south of Brisbane) has amusement parks and beautiful beaches with white sand. Beautiful hinterland with rainforests and waterfalls. Shopping. It's like Brisbane, but 10 times better (except for the nightlife).
