AboutFrank Denison Expertise I have lived in Brisbane all my life (51 years). I am very proud of our city and the Sunshine State of Queensland. I am happy to help in any way possible. Queensland is a very humid and hot place in Summer, which makes it great for outdoor fun.
Experience I have a great love and knowledge of Brisbane and the surrounding areas. I holiday on the Sunshine Coast every year, and visit the Gold Coast numerous times during the year for work. We love to dine out, and can recommend many places to try in Brisbane and the Coasts.

Answer Hi Crystal,
I am sorry my reply has taken so long, but I did not recive your original question. Experts had to email me and tell me I had a question to answer.
If you want no large cities, avoid Brisbane, St=ydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Head for the smaller towns in country New South Wales and Victoria. In New South Wales, towns like Orange, Dubbo, Bathurst Lithgow, Blue Mountains, Parkes, Broken Hill Newcastle. In Victoria try Bendigo, Ballarat, Yarra Valley, Horshame, Eucha, Mornington Penninsula, Shepparton, Mildura.
Central Australia has Ayres rock and Northern Territoy has Darwin, but they are both very "touristy" so I doubt they will suit you.
Places in Queendland I would recommend are Toowoomba, Warwick, Stanthorpe, Charleville and Longreach.
The places I have mentioned only scrape the surface. If I can be of more help, just contact me again.
