Lucinda is a small town on the Queensland coast overlooking Hinchinbrook Island - about 140 kilometres north of Townsville. This place if well known as a great fishing spot but also home to the longest Jetty in the Southern Hemisphere – over five kilometres long and used for loading sugar into large ships.
There is a very large caravan park in town with lots of sites - a bit dusty but very popular with people wanting to go fishing in nearby waters – creeks, mangroves, ocean. We were told that the local fish and chip shop is well known and people travel from all over for the great food. Of course we had to have some – crumbed mackerel, barramundi, crumbed prawns and chips to die for. Delicious. The Lucinda Jetty Store and Takeaway is surrounded by parkland with shaded seating - full of people, and families sitting around enjoying fish and chips – very busy.
There is a nice pub on the corner as you enter Lucinda with a large covered beer garden. A short distance from Lucinda (along Dungeness Road) is Hinchenbrook Resort, boat ramp and another great looking pub and motel. Lots of parkland for picnics and fishing. A big car park for boats and trailers (and caravans while you look around).
