Round Island North Queensland is part of the Frankland Islands 30 km north-east of Babinda, and south-west of Cairns. It is around 4 hectares or 0.04 square km in size.[1]

The Frankland Islands are teeming with permanent and migratory marine life, especially the green sea turtle which nests on the island. Normanby Island, part of the Frankland Islands group offers a comprehensive reef system with a tropical island.

The islands are very popular with reef tour operators working from Cairns.
