Tuan Forest is a special coastal area in Queensland, Australia. It's unique because it's split between two different local government areas: the Gympie Region and the Fraser Coast Region. Even though it's a named place, the 2016 census showed that no one lives there! It's mostly a natural, undeveloped area.
