Hinchinbrook Island National Park, Nature reserve in Cassowary Coast, Australia
Hinchinbrook Island National Park encompasses 393 square kilometers of dense rainforest, mangroves, and granite peaks rising to Mount Bowen at 1,121 meters.
The British exploration of the island began in 1770 when Captain James Cook first observed the area, mistaking it for mainland Australia.
The Biyaygiri people maintained fishing practices on the island, constructing intricate fish traps that utilized tidal changes for catching marine life.
The Thorsborne Trail stretches 32 kilometers along the eastern coast, requiring permits and taking three to four days to complete the journey.
The park contains the ruins of a wilderness lodge that closed in 2010 and was subsequently destroyed by Cyclone Yasi.
