Goold Island National Park, National park in Queensland, Australia.

The 8.3 square kilometer island features eucalyptus forests, rainforest gullies, and several permanent creeks at an elevation of 347 meters above sea level.

The Queensland government established Goold Island National Park in 1936, implementing additional conservation measures in 2000 to enhance environmental protection.

The Bandjin people constructed stone fish traps and shell middens throughout the island, maintaining their connection to this territory over thousands of years.

Visitors need camping permits and must bring their own water supplies, with access available through ferries, private boats, charter services, or sea kayaks.

The national park forms part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, located 17 kilometers from mainland Australia in Rockingham Bay.
