You can also explore the rock pools on Cape Hillsborough Beach and catch a secluded sunset at Hidden Valley. Save an afternoon for a drive around the Hibiscus Coast's seaside villages.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EHow far is Cape Hillsborough from Mackay?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECape Hillsborough is about 50km north of Mackay, around a 40-50-minute drive. Head north on the Bruce Highway, turn onto Seaforth Road, then follow Cape Hillsborough Road to the national park. There's no public transport, so bring a car or book a guided sunrise tour from Mackay, which includes return transfers.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhen can you see kangaroos on the beach at Cape Hillsborough?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe best time to see kangaroos and wallabies on the beach at Cape Hillsborough is 30-60 minutes either side of sunrise, especially at low tide. That's when wallabies and kangaroos come down to Casuarina Beach to eat. You might spot them later in the day too, but sunrise is your best bet. Arrive early, keep your distance and don't feed them.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EIs Cape Hillsborough worth visiting?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYes, Cape Hillsborough is absolutely worth visiting. Few places let you watch wild wallabies and kangaroos on the beach at sunrise, and seeing it for yourself is free. Add a 1,012ha national park with four walking tracks, over 100 bird species, and an island you can walk to at low tide, and it's easily one of the best things to do near Mackay.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EHow long should I spend in Cape Hillsborough?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESpend at least one night in Cape Hillsborough, and 48 hours if you can. Staying overnight means you're steps from the beach at sunrise, so you can see the wallabies without a pre-dawn drive. Two days gives you time for the walks, Wedge Island and the Hibiscus Coast. Short on time? A sunrise tour from Mackay lets you see the highlights in a morning.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n","readMoreHeight":0,"richText":true,":type":"teq/components/editorial/editorial-description"},"spacer":{"spacerType":"whitespace","paddingSize":"small",":type":"teq/components/spacer"},"masonry_grid_article":{"title":"Explore
