Diamantina National Park

Diamantina National Park is a large remote protected area in the Channel Country of central western Queensland within Diamantina Shire. Established in 1993 over former pastoral land, it covers about 5,070 square kilometres of Mitchell grass plains, sand dunes, claypans and floodplains of the Diamantina River. The park is notable for its seasonal wetlands, diverse birdlife, Warracoota waterhole and Hunters Gorge, and its representation of arid outback landscapes.

Visitors can expect a vast, remote outback landscape of flat Mitchell grass plains, red sand dunes, claypans and braided channels of the Diamantina River. The park offers unsealed 4WD tracks, seasonal waterholes such as Warracoota, rocky breakaways at Hunters Gorge, and expansive birdlife and wildlife viewing. Facilities are minimal and camping is bush-style. Exploration is self-reliant with no shops, fuel or treated water inside the park.
