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 over-crowded beaches and 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.
