The Gungganyji people used the island as an initiation ground.[2] It is 27 km offshore from Cairns (1394 km northwest of Brisbane), Queensland, can be accessed by a choice of boats leaving daily from Cairns, and is reputed to be the most visited (popular) island National Park within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.[2] Park featuresGreen Island is a true coral cay formed over thousands of years by the build-up of sand and coral rubble deposited on the calm side of a platform reef. The island is covered in tropical vine forest which supports a diversity of birds and insects. The surrounding coral reef is home to many kinds of corals, clams, fish, stingrays and other reef life. Green and hawksbill turtles are seen offshore.[2] More than 60 species of bird are found on the island.[3] Green Island has been a popular tourist resort for more than a century. The island became a national park in 1937,[3] a marine park in 1974 and part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area in 1981. Today the island, reef and beaches are managed together as a recreation area.[2] Camping on the island is not permitted. A small luxury resort is built on the island with daily ferry services providing access. See also{{Portal|Queensland}}
