Bowling Green Bay National Park
About a six hours drive south of Cairns lies Bowling Green Bay
National Park. Covering 55,300 hectares, this is the largest
National Park in the region, an area once home to the Wulgurukaba
Aboriginal people who have left their mark in beautiful rock
paintings. Bowling Green Bay National Park is sited between
Townsville and Bowen and includes the Mount Elliot area and
adjacent coastal wetlands, saltpans and mangrove swamps. Alligator
Creek meanders through the park, with beautiful waterfalls and
cascades crashing into deep pools, surrounded by tropical
rainforest.
