Introducing Cardwell
The idling seaside holiday town of Cardwell is one of north Queensland’s oldest towns (established in 1864), yet there’s surprisingly little to it. The Port Hinchinbrook marina, 2km south of town, is the departure point for Hinchinbrook Island and may awaken this beachside stretch in years to come. For travellers with wheels, there are a bunch of great forest drives, picnic spots and walks with swimming holes in the area, including the Cardwell Forest Drive, a 26km round trip.

The QPWS Rainforest & Reef Information Centre (4066 8601; www.epa.qld.gov.au; 142 Victoria St; 8am-4.30pm), beside the main jetty, has a great rainforest interpretive display and information on Hinchinbrook Island and the drives.
