	Walkabout - Hinchinbrook Island
		Hinchinbrook Island was named in June 1770 by Captain Cook, after the family seat of his patron, George Montague Dunk.
		Hinchinbrook is basically two large islands joined by a long sand isthmus which has developed so there is a narrow sandy beach facing south, then a few substantial dunes and a vast, impenetrable mangrove swamp cut by sinuous channels.
		The channel which lies between the island and the mainland is a flooded river valley and is notable for its extensive areas of mangroves.

	Hinchinbrook Island - Australia - Mark Moxon, Travel Writer
		Sure, I've seen 'better' somewhere along the line, but they're just memories now; Hinchinbrook Island was reality while I was walking the trail, and it was just great, which only goes to show that presence in the present is all you need to experience the here and now.
		Suffice to say that walking through the lovely tree-clad bays of Hinchinbrook, I felt I was well at home, and as the track was easy – just 32km in four days – I could spend plenty of time soaking in the atmosphere (literally, on the first day) and revelling in the contrast with Cairns.
		One thing that Hinchinbrook was interesting for was the large number of rats on the island.
