The Palms National Park

The Palms National Park contains a subtropical rainforest with piccabeen palms and vine forest situated in a spring-fed gully at the Brisbane River headwaters.

The Queensland Department of Environment and Science established this protected area on March 28, 2008 to preserve the natural subtropical ecosystem.

Over ninety bird species inhabit the park, including rose-crowned fruit doves, green catbirds, wonga pigeons, and barking owls throughout different seasons.

Visitors can access the park via a sealed narrow road from the New England Highway, located 94 kilometers north of Toowoomba and 28 kilometers southwest of Yarraman.

Grey-headed flying foxes roost in palm trees above the creek during summer, while noisy pittas and black-breasted button-quails appear in winter months.
