Southwood National Park

Southwood National Park spans over 71 square kilometers of protected land, featuring cypress pine forests and scattered gilgais throughout the territory.

The Queensland government established this conservation area on May 18, 2001, transforming a region previously known as Wild Horse Paradise into a national park.

The natural area stands on the traditional lands of the Bigambul people, who maintained connections with this region before European settlement.

The Queensland Department of National Parks manages visitor access through designated entry points, providing facilities for hiking and wildlife observation.

The park contains the inland range limit for wonga pigeons and preserves one of the few remaining intact examples of brigalow-belah forest in western Darling Downs.
