Cape Hillsborough Beach provides one of the most iconic Australian photo backdrops and is a dream for photographers searching for that ‘wow’ shot.
Wallabies and kangaroos scour the morning tide for mangrove seed pods, seaweed and coral sand dollars. Enjoy the sunrise as wild marsupials bound up and down the beach.
Remember however, that these are wild animals and should be treated as such. Please do not feed the kangaroos and wallabies and ensure to keep a safe distance at all times.
