dunk island

Dunk Island Resort is located on the Great Barrier Reef, approximately 4 kilometres off the Tropical North Queensland coast, midway between Townsville and Cairns. Most of the island is designated as a National Park and the dense rainforest is home to a huge variety of native flora and fauna, including 150 species of birds, and the beautiful electric blue Ulysses butterfly (the island’s famous symbol). With a wingspan of up to 10 centimetres, the Ulysses butterfly is one of the largest butterflies in Australia, and definitely the most beautiful.
