Green Island Walking Track

Starting from the parking and picnic area at the end of Gap Road, this return walk takes you to a clearing with views over Green Island to the east and Smoky Cape Lighthouse to the south. Let us begin by acknowledging the Dunghutti people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
