Queenslanders

Northeast Australian inhabitants

Queenslanders are people from Queensland, the northeastern state of Australia.

The term carries associations with the state's tropical climate, laid-back lifestyle, and rugby league culture.

Queenslanders are sometimes stereotyped by other Australians as provincial or slow-moving, though they embrace a distinct regional identity: Queenslanders know how to handle the heat.
