Mariala National Park

Mariala National Park encompasses 269.2 square kilometers of protected land featuring diverse ecosystems within the Mulga Lands bioregion of South West Queensland.

The land functioned as part of Ambathala pastoral holding from 1875 until the 1980s before becoming a scientific reserve in 1992 and later a national park.

The national park acknowledges and maintains connections to Indigenous Australian traditions through recognition of their historical relationship with the land.

Visitors can access designated camping areas and walking trails throughout the park, which sits approximately 810 kilometers west of Brisbane.

The park intersects with three major water catchments: the Bulloo, Paroo, and Warrego rivers, supporting six rare or threatened species.
