Fitzroy Island (YFZI) v1.0
Fitzroy Island, where the rainforest meets the reef.
Fitzroy Island is a large tropical island, with a rainforest covering and its own fringe coral reef system.
The island has a total area of 339 hectares (838 acres). The highest point of the island is 269 metres (883′) above sea level.
Fitzroy Island is a 45-minute ferry ride (about 30 km; 20 miles) from Cairns and is surrounded by a reef system that forms part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
This was my hometown and where I grew up. Many fond memories on this island. I highly recommend visiting the Great Barrier Reef for some amazing Diving.
