Is there a north Queensland school of painting?

Abstract

Many artists have become indelibly identified with special subjects, or, in the case of landscape artists, with particular regional or topographic colours, patterns and forms. In Australian painting, one associates Drysdale with the scenery And the people of the arid "outback". Even those painters whose work is based on less realistic themes - the "myth-makers" and "romantic-legend" artists - are in many cases intimately associated with an identifiable locale. Ned Kelly rides through a landscape which is equally Victorian topography and Nolan imagination; Tucker's explorers stride through obviously Dandenong forests; Guy Grey-Smith's abstractions are often as indicative of the West Australian
sand plains as a surveyor's report; Western Victoria is clearly the hone of Arthur Boyd's half-caste shearers. 

Does a similar situation exist in the north? Have the artists created from the landscape, the people, and their own imaginations, a characteristic idiom?
