George Point within Hinchinbrook Island National Park will be temporarily closed from Tuesday 9 December to Thursday 18 December 2025.

Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) is conducting pest control for ongoing conservation efforts to protect the island’s unique natural values.

To ensure public safety, the temporary closure zone includes the George Point camping area and the usual hiker pickup/drop off area.

Hinchinbrook Island is Australia’s largest island national park, renowned for its stunning beauty, diverse ecosystems and landscapes, from lush rainforests to granite peaks.

One of the island’s main attractions, the iconic Thorsborne Trail is unaffected by the temporary closure and will remain open to the public.

All boat operators that travel to the island can stop off at the northern end of Mulligan Bay rather than George Point, where hikers can easily access the start or exit of the trail onto the beach.

People are reminded to never enter closed areas, obey all signage and follow directions from rangers.

Before travelling to Hinchinbrook Island, it is always helpful to check the park alert for up-to-date information.
