Situated halfway between Townsville and Cairns on the Great Green Way , picturesque Cardwell was the first white settlement north of Bowen in 1864 , and offers access by boat to Hinchinbrook Island , Australia's largest island national park on which is the 34 kilometre long Thorsborne Trail , limited to no more than 40 trekkers at one time , named after the late conservationist Arthur Thorsborne . The extensive activities of Arthur and Margaret Thorsborne , she now a Cardwell resident , have been chronicled in this blog . The Cardwell Information Centre contains large wooden carvings and dioramas . Local Indigenous art is displayed on the foreshore . Groups of Curlews attract attention in one of the cafes and local vanilla slices go down well . There is an op shop there from which items of interest have been found by this blog .
