Cape Hillsborough National Park Description

800ha.

The promontory on which Cape Hillsborough National Park lies is dominated by steeply scarped hills rising to around 300m. The park, with dunes, expanses of coastal scrub, rainforest and grassland and eight viewpoints, also takes in the Andrews Point peninsula and little Wedge Island, which can be reached on foot at low tide. A nature trail runs up the Hidden Valley. There is an excellent network of walking trails, and there are also beautiful beaches.
