Girraween National Park

Girraween National Park is a protected granite landscape in the Southern Downs Region of Queensland, near the New South Wales border south of Stanthorpe. Established in 1930, it is renowned for massive granite boulders, tors and balancing rocks set among eucalypt forest and heath. The park features prominent formations such as The Pyramid and Castle Rock, clear creeks, seasonal wildflower displays and an extensive network of walking tracks attracting bushwalkers and nature enthusiasts.

Visitors can expect a rugged granite belt landscape of large domes, balancing boulders, tors and slabs interspersed with eucalypt woodland, heath and Bald Rock Creek. A network of graded walking tracks leads to lookouts such as The Pyramid, Castle Rock and The Sphinx, with granite arch formations, creek crossings and seasonal wildflowers. Day-use picnic areas and two camping areas provide bases for bushwalking, photography, birdwatching and nature study.
