The Regions of Queensland refers to the geographic areas of the Australian state of Queensland. Due to its large size and decentralised population, the state is often divided into regions for statistical and administrative purposes. Each region varies somewhat in terms of its economy, population, climate, geography, flora and fauna. Cultural and official perceptions and definitions of the various regions differ somewhat depending on the government agency or popular group by which they are being applied. == Overview == Various Queensland state government departments adopt different definitions of regions for administrative purposes. The Queensland government Office of Economic and Statistical Research defines eleven regions. These are (roughly from south to north): * Brisbane * Moreton * Darling Downs * South West Queensland * Central West Queensland * Wide Bay–Burnett * Fitzroy * Mackay * Northern * North West * Far North These are the same divisions used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Sometimes several of these regions may be combined and referred to as a single region – for example, Mackay and Fitzroy are together known as Central Queensland, whilst Brisbane and Moreton are together known as South East Queensland. Smaller regions may also exist within these defined regions, such as the Torres Strait Islands or the Whitsunday Islands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Regions of Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
