LIFE

in the

Far North If you were to imagine a place that was lush, green and tropical in the summer and in winter - had clear blue skies and 27°C days, then what would it take for you to be there?

If you could imagine escaping the cold and grey of your winter, to a warm sunny northern beach or a sandy island cay, where it felt like summer all year round, then you would be in Far North Queensland!

This is the image we want to portray to the world and you can be part of it by supporting this magazine.

Home to two World Heritage-listed natural wonders – the rainforest and the reef – the bucket list will be looking a little empty once you’re finished. And don’t be surprised if you find yourself rebooking while you’re there, year after year. It’s the relaxed style of the area, a sun-burnt corner, an environmental connection you won’t find anywhere else, a history and culture that beg to be explored. To the east there is the allure of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Barrier Reef; go west and you will find the Gulf of Savannah and a part of Queensland you will never forget; south takes to through the cane fields and banana plantations to see the Chinese influence from the 1950s; and if you head north you find yourself surrounded by the Daintree, the tablelands and the feeling of serenity.
