19.01.2022 CONGRATULATIONS Kaitlyn & Matt Kaitlyn thought she was going to capturing a stunning landscape but Matt decided to throw in a surprise for good measure In Kaitlyn's words: On Thursday, my best friend and I did a lot of exploring around Cape Hillsborough and waited for the tide to get low enough to walk over to a little island, Wedge Island. I was setting up the drone to do a 360 shot of us at the point of the island which was absolutely breathtaking and as I hit go for the drone to start, someone slipped and grazed his knee (literally) and asked me to marry him. I am absolutely over the moon, I feel so loved and spoilt. We had already been having such a fantastic time away, now its just even better. Fitzgerald you are one of a kind, I love you!

19.01.2022 Not sure on your next adventure; we know a little patch of beach side wilderness you need to check out - see you soon

17.01.2022 WELCOME Katie + Sadie are our newest Eastern Grey Kangaroos . Once the new kids on the block are settled with the sounds, smells and daily activity of their surrounds, Katie and Sadie will be released to freely roam their new forever home at Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park... Katie (pictured in the foreground) is roughly 18 months old and Sadie is around 16 months old. Both girls were found in separate locations west of the coastline. To tell the difference between the two, look for the large nick in Sadie's ear while Katie has a darker fur compared to Sadie. During Katie and Sadie's transition into park-life, we ask everyone to respect their safe enclosure by refraining from hanging over or on their enclosure, keep noise to a minimum, keep hands out of the enclosure and we ask not to attempt to pat, touch or feed them. A clear indicator of Katie and Sadie feeling nervous or scared is when they constantly lick their forearms. Emmy-Lou, Molly, Lindsey & Rea who have already transitioned into park-life and now take up full time residence at the park, will have a chance to meet, greet and mingle in the coming weeks to ensure Katie + Sadie are welcomed into the Cape Hillsborough Mob

11.01.2022 Did You Know . . . Cape Hillsborough is one of only 4 locations within the Mackay / Whitsunday region where you can find the Coastal Sheathtail-Bat. Coastal Sheathtail-Bats can be found occupying sea caves, boulder piles and rock fissures (usually within a few metres of high tide) This vulnerable species is heavily impacted when their habitat is disturbed or demolished from coastal development.... The Coastal Sheathtail-Bat has soft grey-brown fur with a whitish-cream belly and a fox-like head. Their tails project from the upper center of the tail membrane. A relatively large micro-bat, their wing span is approximately 39.5cm with a body length of about 5cm. Their diet consists of beetles and other insects taken on the wing and generally feed no more than one to three km from their roost. credit: Frank Pierce Information sourced from Reef Catchments
