South of Cairns lies Palm Island, the traditional home of the Manbarra Aboriginal people, this rainforest covered granite – the largest of 16 isles in the greater Palm group north of Townsville – is known for its troubled past.

Between 1918 and 1975, palm island was Queensland’s largest and most punitive aboriginal reserve, where aboriginal and Torres strait islander people from across north eastern Australia were confined, forced to work for little or no pay and forbidden from speaking their own languages, social problems have lingered on the island also known as Bwgcolman, which means many tribes – one people. Palm Island is friendly and is beautiful with gorgeous bays to swim and snorkel in, a small rainforest – clad mountains to climb, and a unique opportunity to connect with indigenous Australian culture and understand its complex history.

Palm Island was earmarked for an instalment of the museum of underwater art (MOUA) in 2022. Designed to inspire ocean conservation, the series of spectacular underwater sculptures dotted around the Townsville region invites snorkelers and divers to experience the great barrier Marine Park – which Palm Island forms part of – in a whole new way. You can enjoy a freshwater swim in the small waterfall at the end of palm valley road.
