<strong>Island</strong> Walking Tracks<br />
short distance up to the left is Alma Bay Lookout,<br />
the view is well worth that little extra effort. This is<br />
a great walk to take lunch and admire the view.<br />
5 Arcadia to Nelly Bay (2.1km 25 mins)<br />
The Nelly Bay end of the walkway starts near the<br />
ferry terminal and follows the main road up over<br />
Bright Point headland and down into Arcadia.<br />
Gabul Way is the elevated walkway which provides<br />
a safe and wonderfully scenic link between two<br />
of the <strong>Island</strong>’s busiest bays. There are several lookouts<br />
to pause and enjoy the fabulous views over<br />
Geoffrey Bay as you make your way to Alma Bay.<br />
5b Heritage Track to Bright Point 500m (15 mins)<br />
This track parallels Gabul Way on other side of<br />
the main road, (further up the hill) and is part of<br />
the hundred year old original footpath that connected<br />
the two bays before there was a road, the<br />
only other option in those days was by boat. The<br />
track starts some way up the hill at the Nelly Bay<br />
end and is marked by signs at either end, and has<br />
some great views over Geoffrey Bay. It finishes as<br />
Gabul Way meets the beach, near the first house.<br />
6 Nelly Bay to Picnic Bay 4.4km (50 mins)<br />
From the ferry terminal, walk through the heart<br />
of Nelly Bay, then along the foreshore, up a step<br />
hill with magnificent views of Cleveland Bay,<br />
Rocky Bay, Picnic Bay and beyond, into Picnic Bay.<br />

an exceptional view. The track begins at the end<br />
of Picnic Street in Picnic Bay and winds its way up<br />
to the top of a huge granite boulder.<br />
If you face towards Townsville and across<br />
Cleveland Bay, to your left is Cape Cleveland.
