Rock star Instagrammers from around the world visit Queensland

On October 4, over 1,000 Queenslanders took part in the World’s Biggest Instameet at gorgeous destinations throughout the state. Among them were select Instagrammers from around the world who were hand-picked for their keen eye for photography and unique style. The Instagrammers were sent to different spots in Queensland to capture the beauty of the sunshine state and share their exclusive take on it with their communities. Here are a few of our favourite shots from their visits.

Elisa and Max travelled from France to check out the sights in Tropical North Queensland. They were able to explore the Great Barrier Reef, swim with the famous parrot fish Gavin and capture some unreal palm tree sunsets.

Adrienne is originally from New Zealand but is currently Instagramming it up in the UK. She came to Queensland and explored the sea and sky of Tropical North Queensland. She went underwater on the Great Barrier Reef and high above the Atherton Tablelands on a spectacular sunrise hot air balloon ride.
