Wake early to view unique Australian phenomenon and be sure to bring your camera.

More often than not, wallabies and sometimes kangaroos will be hopping along the beach, fossicking in the tide for their seaside breakfast. This provides a unique opportunity to capture a wallaby, the sunrise and a beautiful Australian beach together in in one photograph.
San bubbler crabs leave intricate patterns at low tide and many other sea creatures shelter in tidal rock pools.
Meander through Melaleuca Woodland, a mangrove community, eucalypt open forest and vine thicket along the Diversity Boardwalk. Keep a look out for the Aboriginal middens. Discover the 1.6km Juipera Plants Trail for a fascinating insight into local Aboriginal history and then climb the headland on the Andrew’s Point walk for sensational views toward the Whitsunday Islands.
