North Queensland

Tropical North Queensland is general term referring to varying regions of the northern part of Queensland. The generally accepted definition is an area from about the city of Mackay north to the tip of Cape York. What is generally accepted as Tropical North Queensland includes the cities of Mackay, Townsville and Cairns and the Australian islands of the Torres Strait. It also includes several world heritage listed areas, such as the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics.

The main population and administrative centre of the region is located in Cairns. Other key population centres include Cooktown, the Atherton Tableland, Weipa and the Torres Strait Islands.

Cairns is the major populated centre of Tropical Far North Queensland and gateway point for most travel, tours and holidays in the Far North Queensland area.		The picturesque Port Douglas has become an international holiday Mecca and is located just 70 kilometres north of the popular Cairns.		Townsville is a city on the north-eastern coast of Queensland, adjacent to the central section of the Great Barrier Reef. Just off the Townsville coast lies Magnetic Island, a large neighbouring island.
