Crows Nest National Park

Crows Nest National Park is a protected national park in the Darling Downs region of Queensland, about 40 km north of Toowoomba near the town of Crows Nest. Established in 1967, it protects 1,790 hectares of eucalypt forest, granite outcrops and rugged gorges along Crows Nest Creek. It is notable for Crows Nest Falls, the Valley of Diamonds, and lookouts such as Koonin Lookout, offering bushwalking and nature-based recreation.

Visitors can expect a natural bushland setting with granite boulders, eucalypt forest, and a creek gorge. The park has marked walking tracks leading to lookouts, waterfalls and waterholes including Crows Nest Falls, Valley of Diamonds and Bottlebrush Pool. Facilities are limited to day-use picnic areas, toilets and car parks. There is no camping in the park. Tracks involve uneven surfaces, steps and creek crossings with scenic views and opportunities for birdwatching and photography.
