North Queensland or the Northern Region is the northern part of the state of Queensland in Australia. It is just south of Far North Queensland. Queensland is a massive state and is larger than many countries. The tropical northern part of it has been historically remote and undeveloped. This has resulted in a regional character and identity that is quite different to the rest of the state.
Townsville is the largest community in North Queensland. It is regarded as an unofficial capital.[source?] The region has a population of 231,628 and covers 80,041.5 km².[1]
