Sandy beaches, rocky outcrops and sandstone cliffs fringe the wild and windswept islands of Newry Island National Park. Surrounding them is the majestic Great Barrier Reef Coast Marine Park. Snorkelling is a popular activity. Seagrass beds provide a haven for threatened dugong. In summer, green turtles nest here. Newry Island's 2.8 kilometre circuit track takes in rainforest and open forest. From the lookouts along its path, enjoy views to the mainland and across to the other islands. Watch for wildlife: orange-footed scrubfowl with nesting mounds on the forest floor and fairy gerygones and superb fruit-doves among the hoop pines and tulip oaks. You may even sight a bandicoot or a koala.
