Cape Melville National Park
Cooktown
Cape Melville National Park combines massive granite boulders of the Melville Range with sandstone escarpments of the Altanmoui Range and inland dunefields. These features form part of a living, Aboriginal cultural landscape. Bush camp at Bathurst Bay behind the beach. Drive to Jones Gap for impressive views to Altanmoui Range and south to the Howick River. Look for pied imperial-pigeons and Papuan frogmouths.
