Main Range National Park, Nature reserve in Queensland, Australia
Main Range National Park is a nature reserve with more than 40 peaks, many exceeding 1,000 meters, spread across mountainous terrain. The landscape is dominated by thick subtropical rainforest that blankets the slopes throughout the area.
The area historically served as a travel route for Indigenous Australians before European explorers like Allan Cunningham discovered passes such as Cunninghams Gap in 1828. These discoveries opened new paths over the mountains for European settlement.
The rainforests here hold deep meaning for Indigenous peoples whose ancestors traveled through these mountains for countless generations. Walking through the forest today, you can sense this long human connection to the land.
The park offers several designated camping spots with basic facilities like picnic tables and toilets scattered throughout the rainforest. Well-marked trails connect different areas, allowing visitors to explore the terrain and enjoy views from higher elevations.
Mount Superbus, reaching 1,375 meters, is the highest point in Southeast Queensland and serves as a striking landmark within the park. This peak draws hikers who want to experience the sweeping views from its summit.
