Mitirinchi Island National Park


Mitirinchi Island (meaning "Soul Island" in Kuuku Ya'u, a sacred site) is a national park in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Queensland, Australia, 1,947 km (1,210 mi) northwest of Brisbane. It is situated about 30 km (19 mi) north-east of Kutini-Payamu National Park and Lockhart River in the Cape Weymouth area near Portland Roads.

Mitirinchi Island is closed to visitors due to its status as a significant seabird breeding site. It is one of only three recorded breeding sites in the northern Great Barrier Reef for great frigatebirds, and is also home to a large breeding colony of black noddies.
