Mount Bauple National Park, Scientific national park in Queensland, Australia

Mount Bauple National Park is a protected nature reserve in the Fraser Coast Region of Queensland covering about 539 hectares at an elevation of 340 meters. The area supports natural populations of macadamia trees in their native setting.

The park was established in 1935 and takes its name from Baphal, a Dreamtime guardian figure in Budjilla culture. Since then it has served primarily to protect the natural macadamia populations found there.

The name bauple comes from Baphal, a Dreaming caretaker of the Budjilla people, the Aboriginal group of K'gari (formerly Fraser Island). The same word names the nut of Macadamia integrifolia, called bauple or bopple nut locally, so the mountain, the tree and the nut share one origin.

The site is managed by government authorities and is not open for regular tourism as it remains reserved for scientific research purposes. Visits are only possible with special permission and a research focus.

The name bauple comes from Baphal, a Dreaming caretaker of the Budjilla people of K'gari (Fraser Island). The same word names the nut of Macadamia integrifolia, which is grown widely in Queensland and abroad while its wild stands stay scarce and listed as vulnerable.
