Border Ranges National Park

Border Ranges National Park spans 31,729 hectares of rainforest terrain with subtropical vegetation patterns and numerous volcanic formations across the McPherson Range.

The establishment of the park in 1983 followed decades of timber extraction that supplied local sawmills until conservation efforts prioritized environmental protection.

The Githabul people maintained deep connections to this land through generations, establishing numerous sites that reflect their spiritual practices and traditional knowledge.

Visitors can access two campgrounds equipped with basic facilities, plus multiple walking tracks and lookout points throughout the designated trails network.

The park contains ancient Antarctic beech forests and serves as a habitat for the Hastings River mouse, reflecting its status within the Gondwana Rainforests system.
