Queensland & the Great Barrier Reef – Lonely Planet –

“Pick up your 4WD and head for the end of the road at Cooktown, where happiness is a fishing rod and an Esky full of beer
Browse Kuranda’s market stalls, and camp overnight in paradise when the day-trippers have left
Disappear onto an island off Cairns where the government once planted coconut palms to feed shipwreck survivors
Extend our trip by 8000 vertical feet and 15 seconds of freefall in a tandem skydive

Four authors, five months of research, a litre of sunscreen
More dive operators, bareboat charters and sailing options than any other guidebook
Colour Highlights chapter for travellers, by travellers”
