What's your destination

Current location

Log in
Cape Hillsborough

Cape Hillsborough National Park to Mackay

Mackay, Queensland

After your exploration of these seaside communities, or islands, drive towards Cape Hillsborough National Park, where rugged rainforest hills plunge to rocky headlands of rhyolite boulders separating heavenly beaches. Enjoy afternoon tea amongst lush tropical gardens at the relocated Marian Train Station, now a teahouse popular for scrumptious home-style baking. Settle into your accommodation for the evening, staying beachside at a nature resort. View the morning sunrise at Casuarina Beach and enjoy a truly Australian sight as wallabies feast and play in the morning tide. Walk one of many tracks throughout the park fro sweeping views out to sea, for the chance to spot whales during migration season. As the tide falls, walk the exposed low tide causeway to Wedge Island and enjoy the serenity of Wedge Island beach! Be sure to cross the causeway before the tide comes back in. Depart Cape Hillsborough.
