Iron Range National Park is a remote coastal park in northern Cape York Peninsula, protecting the largest area of lowland tropical rainforest in Australia. Rainforest, eucalypt and paperbark forests and heath-shrouded hills provide a backdrop to long sweeping beaches, rocky outcrops and mangrove forests. Enjoy bush camping at one of several campgrounds. Take the 10 kilometre return walk along the banks of Claudie River. Spotlight for green pythons and common spotted cuscus; look for eclectus parrots and palm cockatoos. Visit the viewing platform for sights of Mount Tozer and surrounding heathland. Walk along the white sands of Chili Beach.
