Listed Below are the best Hinchinbrook Island - Beach Front Holidays, Holiday Accommodation and Beachfront Properties for Sale, Rent or Lease, that are on the beachfront, waterfront or close to the beach. Hinchinbrook Island, offshore from Cardwell and Port Hinchinbrook, lies between the mainland and the Great Barrier Reef, about 180km south of Cairns and 120km north of Townsville. Most of the island as well as the adjacent Hinchinbrook Channel and the nearby Goold Island belong to Australia' largest island National Park -- the Hinchinbrook Island National Park. The island itself is wild, mountainous and covered with thick heath, bush and forests. It is a refuge for numerous endangered species of animals and plants. The island's highest point is Mount Bowen, (peak 1,120 m above sea level), was once a volcano like many of the other peaks of the island as well. Apart from being an important nature reserve, Hinchinbrook Island is also an important eco-tourism destination. It is concentrated mainly on two areas on the island. There is a small resort on the northern tip of Hinchinbrook Island, Cape Richards, which lies outside the national park area. The resort has the only remaining inhabitable buildings on the island. Along the eastern coast of the island is the 32 m Thorsborne Trail, which is for experienced walkers only and usually takes at least 4 days to complete. Camping on the island is by permit only. Numbers are restricted to protect the park from environmental degradation. No open fires are permitted at any time and visitors should be aware that many crocodiles live in the islands waterways. On the mainland near Hinchinbrook Island are e.g. Lumholtz National Park and Edmund Kennedy National Park.The image shows How Close
