This distinctive rocky outcrop which rises 60 metres out of the ocean is the most easterly point of the Island and played a vital role in its formation. Takky-Wooroo and Waddy Point to the north are the most visible remains of an ancient volcano, worn away by thousands of years of tidal action.

Sand being carried north by ocean currents and wind has piled up against these headlands to form the Island's sand mass.

'Takky-Wooroo' is a place of spiritual and cultural significance for the Butchulla People. Respect this special place and do not walk on the headland.

Did you know? The Island's first people gathered here to watch Captain Cook sail past on the Endeavour in 1770 and recorded this significant event in song and dance
