Alligator Creek - Bowling Green Bay National Park
Alligator Creek,
Townsville Area
Free Entry
Description
As the region's largest coastal park, Bowling Green Bay National Park contains diverse habitats. Its coastal plains are dramatically set against a backdrop of rugged granite mountains rising abruptly in the distance. In this section of the park, Alligator Creek flows between two rocky mountain groups - Mount Elliot and Saddle Mountain. Camp at the Alligator Creek campground. Visit for the day, picnic among the gum trees and swim in the creek. View agile wallabies and rock-wallabies as they feed nearby. At night, common brushtail possums and rufous bettongs 'patrol' this area.
