With Australia's reputation as one of the great sporting nations, it's not surprising that there is an abundance of sporting facilities in north Queensland. You can indulge in all manner of water sports, golf, tennis, squash, cycling, in-line skating, fishing, bowls, soccer, shooting and basketball, to name but a few. Those who crave adrenalin-pumping action can throw themselves into everything from skydiving to white water rafting. For a real walk on the wild side, check out our section on Adventure and Adrenalin.
