Description
6200ha.

In 1848 Edmund Kennedy set out on his ill-fated expedition from Rockingham Bay to Cape York. Inexperienced, poorly equipped and with misleading maps, the party found no way north and Kennedy was killed by Aborigines. The national park takes in a stretch of country typical of the wet tropics, with rain forest, open woodland, palms, marshland and mangrove swamps along the coast and the numerous rivers. There are boardways through the mangrove swamps.
