Green
Island
A coral cay on the
Great Barrier Reef.
The island is almost
30 kilometres from
Cairns, but nowadays
modern catamarans cover
this distance in 45
minutes. The main attraction on Green Island is Marineland Melanesia which is an art gallery, aquarium and crocodile farm. At the end of the Jetty is the Marine Observatory, a good place to see corals.
Fitzroy Island
Fitzroy Island is larger than Green Island and 45 minutes form Cairns. Fitzroy has a resort with less obvious coral and much more vegetation than Green Island.
