Green Island is a national park in Queensland (Australia), 1394 km northwest of Brisbane. The island began to form around 6000 years ago by nearby reef debris deposited through wave action. The island was named after British astronomer Charles Green, the chief observer onboard Captain Cook's Endeavour in 1770.
