Eubenangee Swamp, an important wetland in the coastal lowlands between Ingham and Cairns, is a birdwatchers’ paradise. Over 190 species of birds have been recorded here.<\/p>\n
Sitting below the Bellenden Ker Range (the wettest part of Australia), much of this park is flooded during the wet season. <\/p>\n
As well as being a significant habitat for waterbirds, and crocodiles, the park also protects some of the last remnants of various lowland vegetation types. <\/p>\n
Stroll along the 1.5 kilometre return walking track that follows the Alice River, through rainforest to the top of a grassy hill and enjoy views of Bartle Frere and Bellenden Ker, Queensland’s two highest peaks, as well as the swamp and its many waterbirds. Remember to be croc wise.<\/p>\n
