It is a small national park on the coast north of Mackay in Queensland,
well worth turning in.
It is known for kangaroos
that visit the beaches, but there are
also some great cliffs, rocky outcorps and tidal rockpools, and great
views
over the blue ocean.

There are short walks to Beachcomber Cove and Andrews Point, through
some scrub, sand dunes, subtropical rainforest and eucalypt woodlands
with grass trees aka
black boys.

From the 300m high Cape, there are some nice views over hoop pines
and the
tiny Wedge Island - don't get caught there on the high tide! There is a
BBQ and picnic area, a camping ground, and a resort to stay.
