Bunya Mountains National Park

Bunya Mountains National Park contains diverse ecosystems with rainforests, grasslands, and woodlands rising 1100 meters above sea level in Southern Queensland.

The national park, established in 1908, underwent extensive logging operations until the 1960s when conservation efforts finally halted timber extraction activities.

Aboriginal groups traveled long distances to participate in traditional Bunya festivals, gathering to harvest nuts and share knowledge through ceremonies.

The protected area offers multiple walking trails, camping facilities, and mountain cabins where visitors can observe native wallabies and colorful birds.

The reserve contains the largest collection of Bunya pines worldwide, producing massive cones weighing up to several kilograms with edible nuts inside.
