Description

Cape Hillsborough National Park is a great spot for birding. More than 150 species of birds have been recorded in the area. The Diversity boardwalk is a 2,5 km walk to explore an easy accessible part of the park. The trail is partially boardwalk and the remainder is gravel path. You walk through the cool shaded melaleucas, tall eucalypts and vine thickets of coastal mangrove with opportunities to learn about how these thriving plant communities have been shaped over time and their importance to the Yuibera people. Birds are all over the place, but not always easy to see. Best to arrive early, when the birds are most active. Bird activity decreases sharply later in the day.
