Mitirinchi Island National Park

Mitirinchi Island National Park is a small protected area encompassing Quoin Island off the coast of far-northern Queensland, Australia. The park is situated within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, approximately 1,942 kilometres northwest of Brisbane and roughly 50 kilometres north of Lockhart River. This isolated island reserve protects a critical seabird breeding habitat, particularly known for supporting significant colonies of great frigatebirds and black noddies. The island holds cultural significance as part of the traditional lands of the Kuuku Ya'u people. Despite its relatively modest area of 1.176 hectares, the park plays an outsized role in the conservation of seabird populations in the northern Great Barrier Reef region, serving as one of only three known breeding sites for great frigatebirds in this vast marine ecosystem.
