Thorsborne Trail
Hinchinbrook Island, one of Australia's largest island National Parks, is a mountainous wilderness, that lies adjacent to the coast between Townsville and Cairns.
The Thorsborne Trail is one of Australia's most spectacular coastal walks. Named after Cardwell conservationists, Arthur and Margaret Thorsborne, it traverses spectacular Hinchinbrook Island, in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
The island has long sandy beaches, lagoons, estuarine creeks, and rugged rocky mountains the reach 1000 metres into the clouds. Patches of lush rainforest and extensive eucalypt forest descend to mangrove-fringed channels in the west while sweeping bays and rocky headlands are featured along the east coast.
The Thorsborne Trail covers 32 kilometres of the island's east coast and is best walked over 4 days. The trail can be walked south from Ramsay Bay or north from George Point. Walking quickly does not allow enough time to see the area, to swim or to really enjoy the walk.
