Percy Island

With the ever increasing number of visitors to Middle Percy Island, there are a few crucial changes that have had to be put in place, this has been to preserve the current infrastructure and ecosystems present on the Island. We hope you enjoy your visit.

We ask that you do not leave your rubbish on the island. We ask that if you leave a boat sign in the AFrame it is small so as to allow for the incredible amount of signs added each year. (No beer cans, drink bottles will be permitted. No crude or inappropriate signs will remain up. No large boat parts to be left as signs).

You are welcome to visit the Homestead between 11am and 1pm Monday to Saturday. Unfortunately we are unable to accept visitors outside of these hours as we have an enormous work load. Please supply your own drinking water, (sufficient to get you back to your vessel) as we are on rainwater and preserve our water so as to grow our food.         The Homestead is the residence of the Caretakers, so please be respectful of their privacy and wear appropriate clothing ( no one wearing swimwear will be permitted entry.)  No admittance to the Homestead is permitted without the invitation of the caretakers in residence. There is no public access to cell phone reception and the Homestead (is not an internet cafe). We are happy to supply you with an updated weather forecast. 

Should you wish to volunteer your time please contact us on VHF Ch 73 for information. We really appreciate any help that you can offer us. 

Due to recent theft, vandalism and increase of visitors all other dwellings will be restricted access, limited to those approved by the Grantee or QPWS as stipulated in the Environmental Management Plan provided for the operation, maintenance and use of Middle Percy Island Homestead, Middle Percy Island Conservation Park by QPWS. New signage has been added to this effect, please respect this.

A visitor in September 2018 took these great aerial videos of Middle Percy Island. It is Interesting to see how well wooded the 2,000Ha island has become since the sheep were taken off in 1964 and the ring-barking of the trees for grazing ceased. We have the black and white photos from the Whites days where the grazing land is clearly visible for 1500 to 2000 sheep from 1921 – 1960s
This is a marvelous overview of the Island , Thank you Scott of ‘Blue Peter’
