Destination Profile - Hinchinbrook Island, Queensland
Hinchinbrook Island is Australia's largest National Park island. It is uninhabited except for the award-winning, environmentally friendly Hinchinbrook Island Resort at Cape Richards.
The Island abounds in flora, fauna, palm-fringed beaches, mangrove waterways and rugged granite crags. It is the perfect place to restore body, mind and spirit - the Island to choose if you want peace, beauty and tranquillity.
Hinchinbrook is a bushwalker's paradise. Teeming with wildlife, with more than 66 species of birds, 22 species of butterflies, 29 different mangroves and many varieties of fish and crustaceans. A jagged chain of mountains forms the backbone of the Island.
A favourite walk is from the resort through the rainforest to Macushla beach. This walk takes the best part of a morning and takes you through old growth rainforest, across deserted beaches lined with paperbark forests. Spot 'Ghost crabs' as they appear and disappear with their surreal dance across the sand. You are then met by the friendly ferry for the express ride back to the resort.
This destination is part of the Islands in the Sun Australian Adventure.
