Kwiambal National Park

Kwiambal National Park is a nature reserve in Inverell Shire with granite formations, white cypress pines, and ironbark trees stretching along the Severn and Macintyre Rivers. The contrasting rocky outcrops and river systems create distinct ecological zones throughout the park.

The area was used for tobacco farming in the early 20th century before becoming protected land in 2000. The shift to national park status turned this landscape away from agricultural use toward conservation.

The name Kwiambal comes from the Indigenous people who lived in this area near the New South Wales-Queensland border. The landscape carries their long connection to this land through its presence today.

The park has several camping areas like Kookibitta and Lemon Tree Flat with basic facilities including toilets and barbecue areas. Visitors should prepare for simple accommodations and be ready for varying conditions depending on the season.

Where the Severn and Macintyre Rivers meet, natural plunge pools and waterfalls form, offering swimming and fishing spots. These converging waters shape the park's landscape and draw visitors to these striking water features.
