History

Middle Percy Island Caretakers Incorporation, would like to take this time to acknowledge the Darambul people, Traditional Custodians of this land that we care for. We would like to pay our respects to their Elders past and present  I extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people here today.

The History of  ‘The Percy Isles, Past and Present’ encapsulates Australian European pioneering history up until the present day, on the 2,000Ha Island. It also includes what little is recorded of  the Darumbal people, that  regularly visited and used the Island for its resources.

The Land Facts: In 2011 the 2,000Ha Middle Percy Island leasehold formally changed from the Lands Act to the Nature Conservation Act Section 34. The National Parks decided they could best manage the Island. Changes included designating 83% of the previous land holding to national park status.

The other introduced animals are Eastern Grey Kangaroos ,Wallabies, Wallaroos and Rusa Deer. The Cane Toads were introduced too.

The 117Ha of Conservation Park is managed to ensure ongoing maintenance and to protect the unique Cultural Heritage and Nature Conservation values of the Island.
