Goneaway National Park

Goneaway National Park is a nature reserve in Diamantina Shire in Central West Queensland with sandstone ridges and arid landscapes located between the towns of Winton and Jundah. The land features open woodlands, grasslands, and scrubland adapted to semi-arid conditions.

The reserve was established in 1994 by the Queensland government as an IUCN category II national park. This designation was made to protect the natural environment and the species found there for the long term.

The park represents an important part of Queensland's conservation network, protecting 17 plant species and 55 animal species in their natural habitat.

The area has no facilities, walking tracks, or camping areas, so visitors must bring all necessary supplies and equipment themselves. Navigating the remote location requires careful planning and appropriate transportation.

The remote wilderness contains diverse ecosystems including open woodlands, grasslands, and scrub areas, supporting wildlife adapted to semi-arid conditions.
