While working in IT, North QLD was my area. I used to travel there 2-3 times a year and I liked the place. Stayed at Jupiter's and diner on seafood at the restaurant across the road. Very warm weather, but when it rained - IT RAINED. I was marooned at Lavarack base as the driveway was 2 foot under water. I was wondering what the 4 wheel drives were doing on the other side of the water. I was too tired to realize what was happening and I drove straight through in my hire care Camry. I parted the sea like Moses and got some filthy looks from the drenched observers.

Just watch out for the cane toads. Hire a car and play Frogger !
