Queensland is a state of Australia, located in the north-east of
the country. It is bordered by the Northern Territory, South
Australia and New South Wales to the west, south-west and
south respectively. To the east, Queensland is bordered by the
Coral and Pacific Ocean. The state is Australia’s second largest
by area, following Western Australia, and the country’s third
most populous after New South Wales and Victoria. The capital
and largest city in the state is Brisbane.
Queensland was first occupied by Indigenous
Australians and Torres Strait Islanders, who arrived between
40,000 and 65,000 years ago, according to various dating
methods. [3] Queensland was made a British Crown Colony that
was separated from New South Wales on 6 June 1859, a date
now celebrated state-wide as Queensland Day.
