What You Must See in Far North Queensland

Ahhh, sweet, tropical Far North Queensland (or FNQ as it’s affectionately known). Lush rainforests, gorgeous beaches, national parks and, of course, the Great Barrier Reef. This region has been a favourite holiday destination of Australians and international tourists for decades, and it’s no wonder why. The sunshine, laid-back vibe and beautiful scenery are incomparable to anywhere else. Get ready for an adventure with The Local Trail to our favourite places in FNQ.

Trust us, we’ve been feeling the Cabin Fever too. After months of online shopping, video chats with loved ones and dreaming of the next holiday, you deserve a break. On The Local Trail, we’ve bundled together a suggested accommodation package to suit a range of travellers and budgets. We’ll have you meandering through laid-back coastal towns, exploring tropical rainforests, soaking up Aboriginal culture and history, and diving, snorkelling and island hopping on the Great Barrier Reef.
