Mangrove boardwalks Cairns Qld

This site is on the airport road just before the entrance to the airport, and has two boardwalks running from the car park, both are worth walking and spending as much time as you can here, there aren’t many birds here but it’s the best spot for access into the mangroves in the area. Take mozzie repellent.

No camping advised here
