Ravensbourne National Park

Ravensbourne National Park is a small protected rainforest park on the eastern edge of the Darling Downs near Ravensbourne, about 32 kilometres east of Toowoomba in Queensland. Established in 1922, it preserves remnant subtropical rainforest and palm groves on the Great Dividing Range. Notable for its dense piccabeen palm groves, walking circuits, birdlife and Gus Beutel lookout, it offers accessible day-use rainforest experiences close to Toowoomba and Brisbane.

Visitors can expect a compact subtropical rainforest park with short walking circuits through dense piccabeen palm groves, tall eucalypt forest and vine-covered canopy. Facilities are centred on the day-use area off Esk-Hampton Road with picnic tables, barbecues and toilets. Tracks include the Palm Grove Circuit and Gus Beutel Lookout with views over the Lockyer Valley. The environment is cool, shaded and rich in birdlife, suitable for short walks, picnicking and photography. No camping is available.
