Bunya Mountains National Park

Bunya Mountains National Park is a protected area in the Western Downs and South Burnett regions of Queensland, about 200 kilometres north-west of Brisbane. Established in 1908, it is Queensland's second-oldest national park and protects the world's largest natural stand of bunya pines. The park features subtropical rainforest, grassy balds, waterfalls and diverse wildlife, offering extensive walking tracks, lookouts and camping areas at around 1,100 metres elevation.

Visitors can expect a high-altitude subtropical rainforest environment dominated by ancient bunya pines, interspersed with open grassy balds and eucalypt forest. The park offers more than 35 km of marked walking tracks ranging from short rainforest circuits to longer hikes, scenic lookouts over the Darling Downs and South Burnett, waterfalls such as Festoon Falls and Tim Shea Falls, and abundant wildlife including wallabies, possums and over 120 bird species. Picnic areas, camping grounds and a visitor information area are available within the park.
