THE borders of Queensland's lush far north are a little vague, but the consensus is that it is an area from about the city of Mackay north to the tip of Cape York.
The tropical region of Queensland covers some 54 per cent of the state. What is generally accepted as the tropical north includes the cities of Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and the Australian islands of the Torres Strait. It also includes several world heritage listed areas, such as the Great Barrier Reef .
