North Queensland

This monograph presents the results of archaeological research that takes a longitudinal approach to interpreting and understanding Aboriginal–European contact. It focuses on a small but unique area of tropical rainforest in far north Queensland’s Wet Tropics Bioregion, located within the traditional lands of the Jirrbal Aboriginal people on the Evelyn Tableland.

From the glittering Gold Coast and bustling capital of Brisbane to the tropical north, where prehistoric rainforest meets the world's greatest coral reef, Queenland's coastline offers an unrivalled adventure playground. Explore Queensland is part of a brand-new series and is the ideal pocket companion when discovering Queensland: a full-colour guide containing 15 easy-to-follow routes with a wealth of activities on offer, including sailing from the Whitsunday Islands with their tropical beaches, sand driving on Fraser Island and spotting crocodiles in the far north's Wet Tropics. Insight's trademark cultural coverage perfectly sets the routes in context, with introductions to Queensland's cuisine, theme parks, and of course, diving and snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef.
