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 |
