North Queensland
Region in Queensland, Australia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Far North Queensland.
North Queensland or the Northern Region is the northern part of the Australian state of Queensland that lies just south of Far North Queensland. Queensland is a massive state, larger than many countries, and its tropical northern part has been historically remote and undeveloped, resulting in a distinctive regional character and identity.
