Covering all the main regions of Queensland, from Far North to Outback, the world-famous islands and the populous south-east, the guide helps visitors skip the commercialised theme parks and overcrowded beaches to discover the places locals love. Get a feel for what makes each region special and take the time to slow down and appreciate everything the state has to offer, whether it's acquainting yourself with character-filled towns, immersing yourself in arresting natural landscapes, coming face-to-snout with wildlife, or attending wholly unique festivals.

There's a whole chapter on the best offshore, coastal and freshwater swimming spots, as well as advice on what delectable produce you can find and where.

Featuring beautiful photography by more than 40 photographers, handy maps and filled with a wealth of insider information on where to stay, what to do, and how to travel, as well as recommendations for food, fun, and festivals, let this guide help you uncover the best of Queensland.
