Travel is permitted throughout Queensland under the current restrictions. This means travel to Brisbane the Gold Coast and even the remotest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
If you're curious about what's open, where in the Sunshine State you can go and what's still closed, then we've got you covered.
Queenslanders may travel freely within the state with no restriction on how far or for how long they can travel. However, there are private gathering limits of 100 people to consider.
You can stay overnight with relatives and friends within the state as long as the maximum number of people in the home doesn't exceed 100.
Hotels are open for stays across the state and you can book a hotel for both business and leisure.
During your stay, you may notice that many hotels are implementing extra safety measures such as more frequent cleaning services or they have spaced out furnishings in common areas to encourage physical distancing.
Social distancing (1.5 metres) from other hotel patrons still applies within the hotel grounds.
In lockdown areas, hotels may be open for people needing to shelter in place.

If you are booking a weekend away, you are more than welcome to stay in a holiday home.
With fewer members of the public around (compared to a hotel), socially distanced accommodation in a holiday house can be found at the following sites. The choice is yours with a variety of apartments, cabins, studios, chalets, cottages, homes and townhouses available:
The official rule is no more than 100 to a home. However, Airbnb has placed a worldwide limit of 16 for rentals, excluding boutique hotels and event venues, to curb party homes.
Along with hotels and holiday homes, hostels are now open for business and bookings.
Hostelworld has noted that accommodations are upping safety and hygiene measures. You can expect bigger rooms hosting fewer guests to accommodate the 1.5-metre social distancing rule, regular cleaning of the bedrooms and common areas, and providing hand sanitiser across the stays.Venues not complying with these standards will be removed from the booking site.
The great outdoors is waiting for you with camping sites and caravan parks back up and running.
If you are looking to find accommodation in a caravan park or at paid campsites, we recommend calling up beforehand to lock in a spot.
Some camping spots require bookings in advance.
Many of our favourite tourist destinations in the Sunshine State are open to the public.
Here are some of the attractions that may interest you:
