Have you ever walked across the water? At King Island Conservation Park, you can! King Island is a small island just off the coast of Wellington Point, and when the tide is low, a sandbar emerges, connecting the island to the mainland. It’s a truly magical experience to walk across this natural pathway, feeling like you’re walking on water. The park was established in 1975 and covers the area of the island and a portion of the surrounding water. King Island Conservation Park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including mangrove trees, grey mangroves, and a significant variety of birds. The island was also once home to a family who lived there for a short time in the early 1900s due to a medical need. They built a temporary dwelling on a sand dune, and today, plaques on the island tell the story of their two-year sojourn. King Island Conservation Park is not only a beautiful place to visit but also an essential habitat for shorebirds, which rely on the surrounding waters for food. So, if you’re looking for a unique and memorable experience, be sure to add King Island Conservation Park to your itinerary while you’re in Brisbane.
