About Cape Hillsborough National Park

Cape Hillsborough National Park is one of the most ruggedly beautiful parks on the Central Queensland coast. It's teeming with life and diverse habitats—from rainforest and eucalypts, to mangroves, beaches and rocky headlands. It's a brilliant place to hike, camp, boat, fish, relax and explore. You'll need a few days to fully appreciate this magical part of the world so make Smalleys Beach camping area your home-away-from-home—it's just a stone's throw from the beach and walking tracks. On the park's walking tracks, discover the diversity of Cape Hillsborough from the beautiful beaches to the amazing ridge-top lookouts, significant mangrove and tropical forests while learning about the Yuwi peoples deep connection to Yuwi nandhi. Agile wallabies gather on the beach to search for food at sunrise and sundown. Grab your camera! This is a truly iconic Australian experience that you shouldn't miss. The Yuwi people lived in this area, relying on the use of its natural resources as a way of sustainable living. Visit The Diversity boardwalk and Yuwi plant trail to understand the Yuwi people's connection to this country, and their traditional way of life.
