Things To See and Do
Clump Mountain National Park
Mission Beach
Would you like to..
With Bicton Hill at its centre, Clump Mountain National Park preserves one of the few remaining patches of undisturbed lowland tropical rainforest. Many of the trees have large buttressed trunks and support epiphytic ferns and other plants. Several southern cassowaries live here and vulnerable arenga palms and ancient cycads grow near the summit. Climb to the summit of Bicton Hill on a four kilometre rainforest circuit. Enjoy the panorama of the mainland and offshore islands from viewing and resting seats along the track. In summer months, look for buff-breasted paradise-kingfishers nesting in termite mounds. Go spotlighting for long-nosed bandicoots, striped possums and fawn-footed melomys.
