Gloucester Island is a national park in Queensland, Australia, 950 km northwest of Brisbane.[1][2] It is visible from the town of Bowen. The island was seen and erroneously named "Cape Gloucester" by British explorer James Cook in 1770.[3] The name "Cape Gloucester" has been used informally for areas on or near Gloucester Island.
