Bribie Island National Park, National park on Bribie Island, Queensland, Australia
Bribie Island National Park encompasses mangrove forests, wetlands, and sandy beaches that stretch along the Queensland coast. The different habitats support a wide range of native animals, from birds and fish to smaller mammals.
The park received protected status as a national park in 1994, and additional land was added to it in 2018. These designations aimed to preserve the natural ecosystems and the wildlife living there for the future.
The island served as a significant place for Aboriginal peoples for thousands of years, who gathered food and practiced their traditions here. Visitors can still see how this heritage shapes the way the land is understood today.
The park is accessible from mainland Queensland by a bridge and offers walking trails, camping areas, bird watching spots, and fishing opportunities. These activities can be enjoyed throughout the year, though the warmer months tend to be the most popular visiting time.
The park features varying elevations up to about 40 feet (12 meters), where salt marshes gradually transition into coastal heath vegetation. This natural elevation change creates several distinct habitats in a small area, making it a rewarding place for nature watchers.
