Today we celebrate Queensland Day! 🙌

The Sunshine State was officially separated from New South Wales on 6 June 1859, making today a celebration of Queensland’s unique history, identity and spirit.

Queensland is home to:
☀️ Over 300 days of sunshine each year in many parts of the state
🌿 Two World Heritage-listed natural wonders – the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest
📏 More than 7,000 kilometres of coastline
🏝️ Over 900 islands scattered along our coast

As the saying goes, it’s great one day and perfect the next.

If you’re down on the Cairns Esplanade this afternoon, come and say hello to the teams from and who will be cooking up deluxe sausages, serving drinks and helping the community celebrate everything that makes Queensland great.

Happy QLD Day everyone! 💛❤️

May is Queensland Small Business Month, and we’re proud to be a small but mighty family business right here in Cairns. 🌴🚗

This week, we’ll be attending the Cairns Small Business Expo and taking part in the Meet the Buyer sessions, where we’ll have the opportunity to pitch Mini Car Rentals to industry buyers and decision-makers.

As a family-owned business, events like this are a great reminder that every successful company starts somewhere. Behind every small business is a story of hard work, resilience, and a commitment to building something meaningful over time.

For us, this business is more than just car rentals. It’s about continuing a family legacy, supporting local tourism, and helping visitors experience the very best of Tropical North Queensland.

Here’s to backing small business and the people behind them.
