Lady
Musgrave is a coral cay set on 1200ha (3000 acres) of
living reef with a deepwater coral lagoon unique to
the entire Great Barrier Reef region.
The
Island is a true coral cay and reefwalkers will discover
jewel-bright starfish, sea-urchins, clams and corals
exposed at high tide.
Scuba
divers may come face to face with a manta ray or moray
eel, and snorkellers will discover giant rainbow coloured
carrot fish or coral trout.
In
summer, turtles come ashore to lay their eggs and thousands
of seabirds nest in rookeries on the uninhabited Island.
The
Island is a national park and there are no shops or
facilities ashore. However, restricted camping is permitted
for up to 50 people at a time. Campers must take their
own fresh water and food.
Lady
Musgrave National Park is a tropical paradise abundant
in pisonia forests and birdlife. Some people like to
camp on Lady Musgrave Island. There are also 4WD tours
available in the national park
