"Hinchinbrook Island is Australia's most rugged tropical island.

This World Heritage Area paradise attracts visitors from around the world who enjoy their stay exploring the myriad coastal bays or testing their climbing skills on the island's highest peak. Mount Bowen and its spectacular satellite peak, the Thumb. This DVD shows why Hinchinbrook is one of Australia's most spectacular landscapes."--Disc container back cover.
