Wilson Island, Coral cay in Queensland, Australia
Wilson Island extends over 2 hectares of land within the Capricornia Cays National Park, featuring white coral beaches and dense pisonia forest.
The island received its name from Sub-Lieutenant William T.P. Wilson of HMS Waterwitch during maritime explorations of the Great Barrier Reef region.
The Capricornia Cays serve as a crucial habitat for the Capricorn silvereye, a small bird species found only in the southern Great Barrier Reef.
Visitors can reach the island by boat from Heron Island, with access restricted during February due to bird nesting season.
Green turtles hatch on the island between January and April, making their first journey to the sea while humpback whales pass by from June to September.
