Kondalilla National Park, Nature reserve in Sunshine Coast Regional, Australia

Kondalilla National Park protects 1,591 hectares of subtropical rainforest on the western slope of the Blackall Range, 91 km north of Brisbane. It holds stands of piccabeen palms, pink ash, hoop pines and casuarinas, plus eucalypt forest, and the most easterly stand of bunya pines in Australia. Picnic Creek and Kondalilla Falls flow through the gullies toward the falls.

William Skene took up this land while searching for lost cattle and called it Bon Accord before handing it to the Queensland Government. It was first protected in 1906 as a recreational area and became a national park in 1945. In 1988 the 327-hectare park was linked to Obi Obi National Park, and later additions of former State forest brought it to 1591 hectares.

Kondalilla is an Aboriginal word for running water, the name given in the 1950s after the area was earlier called Bon Accord by settler William Skene. Every three years, when bunya nut crops peaked, the Kabi Kabi and neighbouring Wakka Wakka peoples held the Bonyee Festival, gathering near Baroon Pocket to share food, songs and dances and arrange marriages.

The park has maintained walking trails with signage, sheltered picnic areas, and restroom facilities placed throughout. Good footwear is important because of numerous steps and wet ground conditions along the paths.

The 4.7 km Kondalilla Falls Circuit drops past the upper falls swimming hole to a lower pool that is not suitable for swimming. The track runs close to an unfenced cliff edge in places, and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service advises allowing at least two hours.
