Dunk Island is perhaps Australia's most famous and beautiful rainforest Island. Dunk Island is located off shore from Mission Beach. Known to its first inhabitants as 'Coonanglegah', meaning island of peace and plenty, Dunk Island has much to offer. Being prodominantly a National Park, Dunk Island has an abundance of rainforest walking tracks and secluded beaches.
