One of the highlights of our last trip was the beautiful Hinchinbrook island and it didn't disappoint this time. It is Australia's largest island National Park and is separated from the mainland by the deep, narrow, mangrove-fringed Hinchinbrook Channel, scoured from sand and mud by strong tidal currents. Rising to 1121 metres in the centre of the island are the jagged battlements of Mt Bowen, largest in the chain of rugged granite crags forming the backbone of the island's southern half. The island is approximately 37.4km. long and 10km. wide. The National Park covers 39,300 hectares.
