FITZROY ISLAND
Fitzroy Island is situated approximately
25 kilometres from Cairns and is a continental type Island
that is made up of 324 hectares of Rainforest and is almost
completely surrounded by Coral Reef. The Island is the third
most northerly Island in The Great Barrier Reef.
On Fitzroy Island there are Butterflies, Sheoak,
Indian Beech, Native Nutmeg, Tamarinds, Turpentine as well
as native Orchids which are just a few examples of the exotic
flora and fauna you'll come across on the bushwalks through
the Rainforest. There are also walking tracks that include
a very steep climb up to the lighthouse with a magnificent
view. Snorkelling and Diving just offshore can also be enjoyed,
along with lazing in the Queensland sun on the Golden Sand
or beside the Cool waters of the Island pool.
