CLASS WORKSHOP CHELONA

Rock-strewn, sandy beaches and hoop pine-dotted hillsides that plunge towards the sea contrast with sub-tropical rainforest and mangrove-fringed wetlands, making Cape Hillsborough one of the most scenic national parks along the Central Queensland coast. The Yuibera Trail is a self-guiding trail highlighting the coastal way of life of the Yuibera Aboriginal people. The Yuibera people lived in this area for thousands of years and have left behind reminders of their special connection to the Cape.

This track meanders through melaleuca woodland, a mangrove community, open eucalypt forest and vine thicket. Appreciate the diverse plant communities and their unique wildlife. This walk also highlights the importance of such diversity for the Yuibera people and their culture. The first 300 metres of the walk is accessible to wheelchairs.

When travelling the Overlanders Way, between Townsville and Mount Isa, the Jack Brown Lions Park at Richmond presents itself as a halfway stopover with a difference. Beautiful shade trees and lush green lawns make it the ideal break for travellers. Good clean toilet facilities are available, along with picnic tables and ample parking especially for caravans. Here you can see Moon Rocks of all shapes and sizes and reflect at the war memorial.
