Wallabies on the Beach at Cape Hillsborough

Cape Hillsborough National Park, located approximately 45 minutes north of Mackay, offers a beautiful blend of rainforest and shoreline, volcanic headlands, eucalypt forests, and prehistoric rock formations.

One of the most popular attractions is the sight of wild wallabies and kangaroos that roam the beach in the mornings.

Visitors can witness the iconic sight of wild wallabies and kangaroos at Cape Hillsborough Beach each morning. This area is perfect for photographers, with its scenic backdrop providing an opportunity to capture breathtaking beachscape photos. The wallabies and kangaroos can be seen scouring the morning tide for food, creating an incredible sight as they bound up and down the beach at sunrise. This period offers perfect weather for a day at the beach and allows visitors to observe the wildlife in their natural habitat. Sunrise is the best time to spot the wallabies and kangaroos on the beach, providing an amazing experience.

The beach is easily accessible via a short walk from the Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park. Even visitors not staying at the tourist park can access the beach, as there are car parking lots available nearby. It is important to wear comfortable shoes, bring drinking water, and camera equipment when visiting the park. Remember to keep a safe distance from the wallabies and kangaroos and refrain from feeding them, as they are wild animals.
