Fitzroy Island, Island national park in Cairns Regional, Australia.
The 339-hectare Fitzroy Island features rainforest, woodland, white coral beaches, and clear waters within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
The Gunganji people used this land for fishing and hunting before Captain James Cook named it in 1770, later becoming a quarantine station.
The island hosts educational programs at its Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, teaching visitors about marine conservation and local ecological preservation methods.
Regular ferry service from Cairns Marlin Marina takes 45 minutes, with multiple daily departures providing access to resort accommodations and camping facilities.
Five different walking trails span the island, leading to locations such as the Summit Track viewpoint and the coral-sand shores of Nudey Beach.
