Geography

The park is 1,711 km northwest of Brisbane.[3] Its main features are the rocky headlands of Cape Melville, granite boulders of the Melville Range and beaches of Bathurst Bay.[4]

The national park was the site of a 2013 National Geographic scientific expedition which discovered three new species. These were the Cape Melville leaf-tailed gecko, Cape Melville shade skink and the Blotched boulder-frog.[5] The park is home to a wide variety of plant communities, including mangroves, rainforests, heathlands, woodlands and grasslands.[6][7] The average elevation of the terrain is 43 metres.[8]
