Five continental islands protecting coastal wilderness off the Cairns shore

Frankland Group National Park

Frankland Group National Park encompasses a chain of five continental islands lying approximately 45 kilometers southeast of Cairns along the Queensland coast of Australia. These islands, known as High Island, Normanby Island, Mabel Island, Round Island, and Russell Island, represent a rare example of exposed continental islands in the Great Barrier Reef region. The park covers 77 hectares and was officially established in 1994 under the management of the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. These islands hold deep cultural significance as the traditional Country of the Mandingalbay Yidinji and Gungandji Aboriginal peoples, whose connections to these landscapes extend back thousands of years. The island group was first charted by European explorers during James Cook's 1770 voyage, when Cook named the islands after Admiral Sir Thomas Frankland.
