Description
Barnard Island Group National Park comprises seven islands with a fascinating geological history and contains diverse landforms including shallow reefs and rainforest-clad slopes. The southern islands are important seabird-nesting areas. Sightings of the endangered little tern and vulnerable beach stone-curlew have been recorded here. Camp on Stephens or Kent islands, or visit for the day to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of these undisturbed places. Join an organised sea-kayaking tour and enjoy relatively calm conditions close to the mainland. Look for bridled terns, white-faced herons and other seabird species. Fishing restrictions apply.
