Limpinwood Nature Reserve

Limpinwood Nature Reserve is a large forest area on the border between New South Wales and Queensland that contains subtropical rainforest and wet eucalyptus forest. The land is heavily forested and crossed by waterways that create a complex system of flowing water.

The area was originally a forest reserve and became a protected flora reserve in 1963. Before that, logging operations using draft animals extracted timber from the land.

The forest plays an important role in protecting rare plants and animals found nowhere else. Visitors can observe how the rainforest exists in its natural state and supports the wildlife that depends on it.

To explore the area, visitors need topographic maps and good preparation because access is limited. The main entry point is through the adjoining national park in Queensland.

Two waterways flow through the forest toward the east, where old tree species like red cedar and white beech grow. These rare trees are remnants from an earlier geological time and make the area scientifically valuable.
