Green Hill Fort on Thursday Island was built between 1891 – 1893 as part of Australia's defence against a possible Russian invasion. It was eventually decommissioned some time in 1927 and the buildings were demolished and the guns were spiked. Green Hill is a small grassy hill about 58 metres above sea level at the western end of Thursday Island. There are five rooms with 600 millimetre thick concrete walls used for ammunition storage. The initial buildings on site were the general storeroom, shell store, cordite room, lamp room and artillery store. A timber and corrugated iron guardhouse (25 inch by 15 inch) was also built over a 20000 gallon underground well. A cooling plant machine room and a powder room were added in 1912. Air conditioning ducts were installed from the cooling plant machine room to the cordite store.

Green Island is the closest coral reef to Cairns, and located on the inner side of the reef it doesn’t have the crystal clear water found on the outer reefs. However, this pretty coral cay is a great place to snorkel, and also has a few good dive sites. Green Island is easily reached on a day trip out of Cairns and is very popular with snorkelers, and for good reason. Around the island are coral gardens and sea grass beds, where a good population of reef fish can be seen. Snorkelers are also likely to see turtles, reef sharks and stingrays. The jetty is a popular snorkelling site as well, as schools of fish linger between the pylons. For divers there are coral gardens to explore in depths to 15 metres. In deeper water divers will see lionfish, batfish, turtles, reef sharks, moray eels, nudibranchs and octopus.

Angourie's northernmost trio of heavenly headlands, Green Point has been a special meeting place for the Yaegl mob – Indigenous custodians of this area. Though there are no showers or toilets here, there's modest parking and a beautiful sandstone paver track leading from the carpark to the small platform overlooking Green Point. Green Point is a perfect spot to watch the sun and the moonrise, to watch whales lurch around the corner from Angourie headland, and to watch the local dolphins go about their fishy business. Green Point isn't really a swimming spot, it's a shallow reef break beloved by surfers (surfing to the north on south swells) and bodyboarders (riding fantastically hollow tubes in the other direction on east or north east swells) For a swim, your best bet is to head to a patrolled beach. This marks the start of the Yuraygir National Park, and so if you're with your hound, you'll be heading down the northern stairs in the Miners / Dump Beach direction. And tempting as it might be, camping is a definite no-no.
