Malkumba-Coongie Lakes National Park

The national park contains extensive freshwater wetlands with channels, billabongs, shallow floodplains, deltas, and interdune swamps across 266 square kilometers.

The area received international recognition in 1987 when it was listed as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention.

The Yandruwandha and Yawarrawarrka peoples maintain strong connections to this land through active participation in park management and conservation efforts.

Vehicle entry fees cost 10.90 Australian dollars, while overnight camping costs 21.60 dollars, with advance booking required for all visits.

The park transforms during floods from Queensland rainfall, creating rapid plant growth conditions that attract numerous waterbird species for feeding and breeding.
