It is the southernmost island in the Flinders Group National Park. It is south of Flinders Island. It is around 390 hectares or 3.9 square km in size.[1]
Aboriginal mythology (Cooktown) states Denham Island as a major Moon-Myth site, believed to have been originally joined to Bathurst Heads but later pushed out by the moon.
