Lizard Island, a granite island, is approximately 10 square kilometres, with three smaller islands nearby. Together these islands form the Lizard Island Group, and their well-developed fringing Reef teeming with marine life encircles the 10-metre deep blue lagoon.
Lizard Island is one of three Islands making up the Lizard Island Group; the other islands are Palfrey Island and South Island.
The Island Group is part of the Lizard Island National Park on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Two hundred fifty-three kilometres Northwest of Cairns.
On the Island live 40 species of land and sea birds, 11 species of Lizards, pythons, tree snakes, geckos and skinks.
Twenty-four beautiful private beaches with fringing reefs with brightly coloured marine life surround the Island Group.
The local Aboriginal people call this Island Jiigurru.
