This map covers the sub-tropical region of the state of Queensland in Eastern Australia. It stretches from the city of Brisbane in the South to Rockhampton on the tropic of Capricorn in the North, and westward to Charleville and Longreach. The climate is generally warm, with the coastal strip enjoying wet summers and dry winters.
