📍Garden Island
Just when you think you've been to them all there's another island to explore! 🏝
Garden Island, 164km north of Townsville, is a small tropical island, sheltered by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park 🪸 and two larger islands. It's a pristine oasis covered in dense tropical forests 🌿🦋, boulders and wide sandy beaches. 🏖 And for an extra treat, Dugongs and Turtles 🐢 can be seen surfacing as they feed on the extensive seagrass beds in the shallow waters.
The island is home to a campsite 🏕🌙 and nature trails/boardwalks, so you're probably going to want to add this beauty to your list for your next camping trip! 👌🏽
