Queensland, State division in northeastern Australia

Queensland spans 1,729,742 square kilometers of varied terrain, from coastal regions and rainforests to desert areas and the Great Barrier Reef marine ecosystem.

The territory separated from New South Wales in 1859 to form an independent colony, later joining the Australian Federation as a state in 1901.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain their traditions across Queensland through ceremonial gatherings, art exhibitions, and language preservation programs.

The state government operates through 77 local councils that manage community services, infrastructure development, and regional planning across different geographic zones.

Queensland contains 322 counties and 5,319 parishes, forming a land administration system that continues to influence property documentation and historical research.
