Moreton Island National Park, National park on Moreton Island, Queensland, Australia.

The protected area spans across Moreton Island with expansive sand dunes, freshwater lakes, mangrove forests, and coastal vegetation reaching 122 meters in elevation.

The national park designation in 1966 marked a turning point for conservation efforts, followed by additional protective measures implemented in 2007.

The Quandamooka's Ngugi people, inhabiting this land for over 2000 years, named it Mulgumpin, meaning place of sandhills in their language.

Visitors access the park via vehicle or passenger ferries from Brisbane, with permits required for camping in designated areas throughout the protected grounds.

The national park contains numerous submerged shipwrecks along its coastline, creating artificial reefs that support marine ecosystems and attract diving enthusiasts.
