Welcome to your guide to riding in paradise.
Tropical North Queensland is a motorcyclists' paradise par excellence; blessed as it is with a vast network of relentlessly twisty coastal, mountain, highland and outback roads, with eye-wateringly beautiful vistas at every turn.
Nowhere else on Earth will you find such a divine combination of addictively engaging roads and hypnotically beautiful scenery, with the added bonus of year-round tropical warmth.
Although Australia is better known as a predominantly flat, dry continent, Tropical North Queensland is on the same balmy latitude as Tahiti, and is the only location on Earth where two World Heritage wilderness areas - The Great Barrier Reef and The Daintree Rainforest - overlap.
With a hinterland of soaring 5500ft volcanic peaks rearing dramatically up from the Coral Sea coast, the whole backed by the rugged vastness of the Outback, this is the ultimate in exotic tropical riding destinations. Think Hawaii, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Crocodile Dundee all rolled into one.
Think vividly green, blue and quintessentially red Australian landscapes overlaid with a scratcher's paradise of twisting tar.
It's the Australia no-one knows, but that visiting motorcyclists rave about endlessly.
