Thursday & Horn Island holiday travel video guide Queensland Australia

Whilst on our Drive through North Queensland we took some time out to experience The Torres Strait Islands which lie just north of Cape York, Australia's most northern point, and south of Papua New Guinea.

The Torres Strait Islands creates a fusion of Melanesian and Australian Aboriginal cultures. The Torres Strait Islands are comprised of 274 islands, of which 17 are inhabited with approximately 20 communities. The islands and the surrounding reefs provide diverse habitats for marine life.

We visited Thursday and Horn Island the most well-known of the Torres Strait Islands.To travel to the remote islands (other than Thursday and Horn Islands), you must get permission from the Torres Strait Regional Authority.
