Molle Islands National Park, Island nature reserve in Whitsunday Regional, Australia
South Molle Island contains open eucalypt forests, sheltered rainforest gullies, and grasslands spread across slopes near white sandy beaches and clear waters.
The Queensland Government established Molle Islands National Park in December 1998 to protect the natural environments and biodiversity of several continental islands.
The Ngaro Aboriginal people maintained the islands through fire management techniques and established stone quarries for tool production on South Molle Island.
Visitors reach the park by boats from Airlie Beach, with multiple camping locations offering basic facilities such as picnic tables and restrooms.
The national park supports 211 different species, including the coastal sheath-tailed bat and beach stone-curlew, which hold vulnerable conservation status.
