Lindeman Islands National Park

Millions of years ago, rising seas drowned a rugged mountain range. What remains is a group of peaceful, tropical islands. Aboriginal people referred to the main island, Lindeman, as 'Yara-kimba', the place of snapper-bream fish.

Well-maintained tracks traverse Lindeman and Seaforth islands. While water is usually clearer on the northern end of outer islands, snorkelling over reef flats at high tide can still be rewarding. Look for humpback whales from May to September. Sunsets over Neck Bay and views from Lindeman's Mount Oldfield can be spectacular. Birdwatchers will delight in more than 90 species. Camping is permitted on three islands. Check restrictions on activities such as spearfishing, collecting and fishing.
