Each week we invite three companies to offer us their best deal for a specific break. This week: a 12-night road trip around Queensland. Prices are per person, based on two people travelling together. Each includes Cathay Pacific flights from Heathrow via Hong Kong in November and vehicle hire.

Austravel - £1,749

Includes flights to Brisbane any day between 1-30 November, car hire and 12 nights' mixed-board hotels in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Fraser Island, Rockhampton, Airlie Beach, Magnetic Island and Cairns. "This is the perfect way to explore Queensland," says Karen Joyce (0800 988 4834; austravel.com).

Trailfinders - £1,459

Includes flights to Brisbane on 4 November, car hire and 12 nights' mixed-board hotels in Brisbane, Noosa, Fraser Island, Rockhampton, Airlie Beach, Magnetic Island and Cairns. "Take in Fraser Island, the Gold Coast and the spectacular Great Barrier Reef," says Tiffany Cope (020-7368 1200; trailfinders.com).

Travelbag - £1,099

Includes flights to Cairns on 6 November and Britz campervan hire, with in-vehicle accommodation. "Exploring Australia's Sunshine State with a luxury motorhome gives you freedom to tailor your itinerary as you go along," says Rianne Ojeh (0871 703 4240, travelbag.co.uk).
