High Island, in North Queensland, Australia is part of the Frankland Islands, 30 km northeast of Babinda, and 45 km southwest of Cairns.[1]

The Frankland Islands are teeming with permanent and migratory marine life, especially the green sea turtle which nests on the island. Normanby Island, part of the Frankland Islands group, offers a comprehensive reef system with a tropical island.

The islands are very popular with reef tour operators working from Cairns.

The alternative name for this island is Caparra Island.

The island was used as a filming location in Ocean Girl.
