St Helena Island National Park

St Helena Island National Park serves as a significant heritage destination located within Moreton Bay. Visitors access the island via ferry services to explore the remains of Queensland's first high-security prison. While primarily a conservation site, the park accommodates guests through pre-arranged tour catering and designated picnic areas. The environment includes restored colonial buildings and historical gardens that provide a backdrop for outdoor dining and educational walks. The site sits approximately five kilometres from the mouth of the Brisbane River, with Fort Lytton National Park located nearby on the mainland. St Helena Island features walking tracks that connect various historical precincts, including the lime kilns and the cemetery. Rangers manage the island to protect native vegetation and local bird populations. Visitors to the suburb of St Helena Island should plan for a full-day experience, as most amenities are integrated into the guided tour schedules.
