Visit Osprey House environmental center, with several lookouts to explore different habitats. From here, access another bird hide and enjoy a short walk or drive with expansive mangrove views.
Continue by crossing Houghton Highway, one of Australia’s longest bridges, offering views of Hays Inlet and the Glasshouse Mountains.
