SOUTH WELLESLEY ISLANDS

South Wellesley Islands, QLD 4871, is a remote and sparsely populated area located in the Gulf of Carpentaria, off the northern coast of Queensland, Australia. This group of islands, including Bentinck, Sweers, and Allen Islands, is known for its untouched natural beauty, rich Indigenous cultural heritage, and significant ecological diversity. The region is part of the traditional lands of the Kaiadilt and Lardil people, who have inhabited the islands for thousands of years. The South Wellesley Islands are largely undeveloped, with limited infrastructure, making them a haven for wildlife and a destination for those seeking solitude and a connection to nature. Activities such as fishing, birdwatching, and exploring the pristine beaches and mangroves are popular among visitors, though access is challenging due to the remote location.
