History
The site was founded in 1933 by Queensland Holiday Resorts Limited, evolving from a tent camp into a substantial lodge complex. It became an early model for nature tourism in the region.
Culture
The place is linked to conservationists Romeo Watkins Lahey and Arthur Groom, whose efforts shaped national park creation across Queensland. Visitors can see how their work continues to influence the landscape today.
