you will love qld, seen as we're the hottest tourism spot in australia.
we got the reefs, the rainforests, the beaches, the outback, we got everything here, you need to travel alot though, its pretty big qld to see the lot.
okay sunshine coast, i live near the gold coast, sunshine coast though is a very nice place, i would like to live their someday.
if you want to go to uni their, you could try and catch a train into brisbane city from their seen as it isn't that far too go.
if you want to check out some uni's
google griffith university, queensland university of technology,
you could look at tafe courses, like uni but just something different and you could probly work here abroad by that time seen as i think we wont be in a deep recession any more.
have a great trip when you come here.
