Green island
In the Coral Sea, 27 kilometers off Cairns, lies Green Island, a coral cay that is a part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park World Heritage Area. Green Island National Park safeguards the coral reef that encircles the island. Most guests stay just for the day. On the island, there is also a five-star resort.
The island is home to a variety of species, including vine-covered rain forests and dry coastal and beach vegetation. All of the island’s vegetation depends on rain and a small freshwater lens that is located beneath the island because there are no natural freshwater springs there. Waves deposited sand, coral, and other debris over the island’s coral foundations about 6,000 years ago, forming it.
