Queensland tropical flavours

1 min read admin_paris

Far North Queensland is as much about tropical produce as reef days — mangoes, bananas, coffee, and fresh seafood show up everywhere from markets to casual restaurants.

Leave one evening free for a proper meal in Cairns or Port Douglas, and pick up fruit from roadside stalls or markets when you are out on day trips.
