Torres Area

Scattered between Cape York and Papua New Guinea, the islands of the Torres Strait sit further from the rest of Australia than almost anywhere else in the country, and the isolation shows in the best way. Torres Strait Islander culture runs deep here, art, history and tradition carried by communities who've called these islands home for generations. The fishing matches the setting, clear water and healthy reefs making for some of the most rewarding catches anywhere in the north. Each island holds its own quiet character, sleepy and welcoming rather than built for crowds.
