Pipeclay National Park

Pipeclay National Park extends across 146 square kilometers of protected land, situated 165 kilometers north of Brisbane at an elevation of 14 meters.

The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service established this national park in 1963, with additional recognition granted in 2001 to enhance environmental protection measures.

The park contains an Aboriginal bora ring, where traditional initiation ceremonies took place until 1865, marking it as a place of deep cultural significance.

Access to the park requires specific permits from the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, with strict regulations governing visitor activities within its boundaries.

The name originates from the local clay deposits that Aboriginal people and European settlers used for pipe manufacturing during early settlement periods.
