Diamantina National Park, Nature reserve in Queensland, Australia.
The Diamantina National Park spans 5,070 square kilometers of Channel Country, featuring sand dunes, river channels, and grasslands across the vast Queensland outback landscape.
The Queensland Government established the national park in 1993 after purchasing Diamantina Lakes Station, naming it after Lady Diamantina Bowen, wife of Queensland's first governor.
The Maiawali and Karuwali peoples maintained trading routes along the Diamantina River, using the land's resources from grasslands to sandstone ranges for sustenance.
Visitors need substantial preparation for this remote location, which offers camping areas, picnic spots, public toilets, and designated points for birdwatching activities.
The park houses the largest known population of night parrots, discovered in 2016, making it a critical habitat for Australia's rarest bird species.
