Queensland is located in the north-east of Australia. It is bordered by Northern Territory which is to the west, south-west to South Australia and south to New South Wales. Queensland is bordered by the Coral Sea and Pacific Ocean.
This state, being the second largest in Australia, is 1852642 km2 in area. The total area of land in Queensland is 1730620 km2, as opposed to the area of water being 121994 km2.
Queensland consists of climate zones such as tropical wet or dry, tropical wet, tropical or mid-latitude arid, tropical mid-latitude semi arid and humid subtropical. These suggest Queensland is a humid state, with hot summers and mild winters, but the rainfall around the state varies between the climate zones. Some parts of the state experience an abundance of rainfall, and other parts do not get enough rainfall, even in the wet season.
The vegetation zones in Queensland consist of a tiny space of closed forest-rainforest, a large amount of woodland, spacious amounts of open forest-eucalypt and a bit of herb land. This tells us that Queensland has various vegetation zones and are useful for various different things.
Queenslands landforms are mainly made up of hills and plateaus, with a tiny bit of highlands and plains. This tells us that Queensland has a lot of hills or mountains and only a little bit of flat land. This suggests why the eastern side of the country has majority of the rain that falls in the country, because the hills in the east stop the wind and rainfall from getting over to the middle and western side of the country.
