Description: Journey to one of Australia's most remarkable and least-understood regions, where hundreds of islands scatter between Cape York and Papua New Guinea. This richly detailed guide explores the Torres Strait's dramatic geography, the enduring traditions of its Saltwater People, and the layered history of navigation, trade, colonial encounter and twentieth-century struggle that has shaped island life. From reef ecosystems and monsoon rhythms to contemporary community, language and governance, it offers both armchair readers and travellers an insightful introduction to a unique corner of Queensland.
