Cape York

Peninsula Shelburne, Queensland, Australia

What to expect

Cape York is a peninsula located in Far North Queensland, Australia. It is the largest wilderness in northern Australia, with a diverse repertoire of endemic flora and fauna. The area features giant white silica sand dunes, perched lakes, and vast areas of diverse vegetation ranging from heathlands to rainforest and eucalypt woodlands. The Wuthathi Land and Sea Custodians look after the country at Shelburne Bay, which includes coastal dune fields, freshwater ecosystems, and wetlands, as well as sea country from Cape York east to Raine Island. The Wuthathi (Shelburne Bay) National Park (CYPAL) is part of an extensive living cultural landscape, rich in traditional and contemporary cultural significance for Traditional Owners. The park includes the most aesthetic and dominant feature of the Shelburne landscape—the mobile parabolic sand dunes of the Shelburne Bay dune field
