Eungella Dam to Cape Hillsborough National Park

Mackay, Queensland

Drive back to Mackay via Mackay Eungella Road until back on the Bruce High to head towards Cape Hillsborough National Park, where rugged, rainforest hills plunge to rocky headlands of rhyolite boulders, separating divine beaches. Along your journey, enjoy morning tea amongst lush tropical gardens at the relocated Marian Train Station, now a teahouse popular for delicious home-style baking. Known as the youngest volcanic area in Australia, Cape Hillsborough is an exciting place to explore by foot. A number of well-formed walking tracks lead you throughout the park, where you can view the dramatic rhyolite rock and cave formations that border both ends of Casuarina Bay!
