Newry Islands National Park, Nature reserve in Mackay Regional, Australia.
The national park contains several islands with pearl-colored beaches, exposed rocky headlands, open woodlands, and dense rainforest near the Great Barrier Reef.
The Queensland Department of National Parks established this protected area on November 3, 1995, to maintain the natural ecosystems and wildlife populations.
The islands hold substantial meaning for indigenous communities who maintained a connection to these lands through their traditions and practices.
Visitors need boat transportation to access the islands, where they can engage in activities like snorkeling, swimming, and exploring designated walking tracks.
The national park functions as a breeding site for numerous seabird species and contains diverse marine habitats with coral reefs and mangrove systems.
