Far North Queensland, or FNQ, is the northernmost part of the state of Queensland, Australia. The region, which contains a large section of the Tropical North Queensland area, stretches from the city of Cairns north to the Torres Strait. To the west lies the Gulf Country and North Queensland is the region to the south. The region has more than 70 national parks. It supports a significant agricultural sector and has a number of significant mines. Queensland's two highest peaks, Mount Bartle Frere and Mount Bellenden Ker, are located in Far North Queensland. Far North Queensland is home to Queensland's first and largest wind farm called Windy Hill Wind Farm. ==Extent== Various Government Departments and agencies have different definitions for the region. The Queensland Government Planning Department's ''Population Growth - The Far North Queensland Region 2005'' document defines the region as an area comprising the Cairns Region, Tablelands Region and two Aboriginal Councils (Wujal Wujal and Yarrabah).〔(Population Growth - Far North Queensland Region. Department of Local Government and Planning. 2004. p4. )〕 The Australian Bureau of Statistics defines the region as containing most of Cape York Peninsula (excluding the south western quarter, half way up the Gulf of Carpentaria coast) and the Torres Strait Islands and extending as far south as Hinchinbrook Island and the town of Cardwell, but excluding the city of Townsville. This larger definition is also used by other State Government agencies〔(Queensland police Far Northern region. )〕〔(Department of Education map )〕〔(Queensland State Library map )〕〔(Queensland Fire and Rescue map ).〕 and also encompasses the local government areas of Aurukun, Cook, Croydon, Etheridge, and Lockhart River, as well as the Northern Peninsula Area Region and Torres Strait Island Region. It has a total area of 273,147.6 km².〔
