Tropical North Queensland is like another world. It's one of those must-do holidays and if you've never seen it, then you're in for a pleasant surprise. Tropical North Queensland is where the rainforest meets the reef. Renowned for not one but two World Heritage areas - the wet tropics of Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef. More Info...
Stretching more than 2000km along the Queensland coastline and covering 35 million hectares, the Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef. It is home to an abundance of marine wildlife - including more than 1500 brilliantly coloured species of tropical fish, 4000 species of molluscs, 400 species of sponge and 300 species of hard corals.
Listed in 1988, the Wet Tropics World Heritage property extends from Townsville to Cooktown on the north-east coast of Queensland and covers almost 900,000ha. The area is a region of spectacular scenery with fast flowing rivers, deep gorges, numerous waterfalls and mountain summits providing expansive rainforest views. The area includes National Parks such as Daintree, Barron Gorge and Wooroonooran National Parks.
