Frankland Group National Park, National park with five islands near Cairns, Australia.

Frankland Group National Park consists of five continental islands: High, Normanby, Mabel, Round and Russell. All are made of weathered sedimentary rock, part of a coastal range flooded by the sea about 6,000 years ago. Fringing coral reefs with hard and soft corals surround them, and the rocks carry a mix of tropical rainforest and coastal heath, with mangroves in the tidal flats.

Explorer James Cook named these islands in 1770 after Admiral Sir Thomas Frankland as a tribute. The area gained protected national park status in 1998 following the need to safeguard its natural resources.

For the Mandingalbay Yidinji, Yidinji and Gungandji peoples the islands were a meeting place where they gathered, fished and hunted together. The German source records this use of the group; the islands lie within the traditional home of these Aboriginal peoples.

Reaching the islands requires a private boat launched from ramps at Mulgrave or Russell River. Overnight camping on Russell Island is permitted with proper authorization, though visitors should check conditions in advance.

Russell Island received a lighthouse in 1929 and was declared a Commonwealth island; the other islands were added to a national park in 1936, and Russell Island followed in 1994. Camping is allowed only on Russell and High islands, and Normanby Island has a 1 km circular walking track.
