Queenslanders are craving vacations off the beaten track. With paranoia over border closures, more families are choosing to holiday in their own state, with areas such as Maleny, Montville and Mount Tamborine proving to be popular destinations. Airbnb s Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand, Susan Wheeldon, said unique listings have been booking out quickly. Queenslanders are not only fiercely proud of our state s places in the world as a top-notch tourism destination, but we also go out of our way to explore our own state and support regional business, she said. Hosts on Airbnb are no exception and have been working hard to help make a big contribution to their region s economic recovery.

Deer were introduced to Australia in the late 19th century and have established populations across Queensland. In mid-2019, deer were sighted in the Tweed for the first time ever. The Gold Coast council was asked how many deer were thought to be in the city and what was being done to manage the population. A police officer goes after a troublesome deer in Merrimac in 2015.

Feral deer found on council land are managed in accordance with council s biosecurity management plan and relevant legislation.
