Queensland, however you want it.

Queensland, often referred to as the "Sunshine State," is the second-largest and third-most populous state in Australia. Located in the northeastern part of the country, it covers an area of 1,852,642 square kilometers and is bordered by the Northern Territory to the west, South Australia to the southwest, New South Wales to the south, and the Coral Sea and the Pacific Ocean to the east. With a diverse and thriving population of over 5 million residents, Queensland is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty. Geographically, Queensland is characterized by a diverse landscape that ranges from the tropical rainforests of the north to the arid outback in the west, and the coastal beaches and islands along the eastern seaboard. The Great Barrier Reef, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, stretches over 2,300 kilometers along the state's coast, making it the largest coral reef system on Earth. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to thousands of marine species, including fish, turtles, and sharks, and attracts millions of tourists each year.
