Queensland
Queensland is situated in the north east of Australia – occupying an area of more than 700,000 square miles – and its population of around four and a half million is concentrated along the Pacific coastline. Queenslanders, like all Australians, love their sport and swimming is one of the most popular – evidenced by the fact that all six of Australia’s gold medals at the Beijing 2008 summer Olympics were won by swimmers from the Sunshine State.
