Personal safety
“Queensland has an environment that is not only sunny, beautiful and diverse but (also) by world standards relatively safe.”
Queensland Police, Tourist Holiday Hints brochure
When you are travelling and living away from home, it is very important for you to keep a cool head and use common sense to protect yourself and your belongings.
In Queensland, as in most places in the world, it’s a good idea not to walk around on your own in lonely places, particularly at night. When you are out and about, don’t wear visible money bags, cameras or jewellery that might attract a thief’s eye.
