Here’s a fact to make your GPS blink twice: Lucinda’s sugar-loading jetty stretches nearly six kilometres — that’s longer than Sydney’s Harbour Bridge … four times over! This engineering marvel funnels sweet Hinchinbrook sugar to waiting ships, floating far out over the Coral Sea.
On the right day, it disappears into the horizon like a mirage. While the jetty itself is off-limits to the public, nearby Lucinda Beach offers the perfect vantage point. Locals joke it’s the “jetty that goes to Fiji,” but it’s also a quiet reminder that industry and paradise can coexist.
Pack a camera and head north at sunset — when golden light hits the metal spine, it glows like a sugar thread stretching across the ocean.
