Airlie Beach is the gateway to the beautiful Whitsunday Islands. And one of the cruisiest ways to get to this picturesque part of Queensland is on board Queensland Rail’s Spirit of Queensland. It departs Brisbane for the tropics 5 times a week – and offers a comfortable alternative to long hours behind the steering wheel. First class means you have meals delivered to your seat which – thanks to Railbed technology – turns into a comfy single bed at night.
