Cape Pallarenda Conservation Park

A scenic coastal park close to Townsville, Cape Pallarenda is the site of a former quarantine station dating from 1915. Enjoy a picnic or barbecue on the foreshore.

Stroll through the old quarantine station. Visit the small museum and gain a historical insight into the area. Walk along the beaches and over the headland to take in sweeping views of Townsville and Magnetic Island.

Open Woodland and vine thickets support a variety of wildlife in the Park. Around the picnic area Brush Turkeys, Wallabies and a range of lizards can be found.
