Boodjamulla National Park

Boodjamulla is a nature reserve in Queensland featuring deep gorges, sandstone cliffs, and permanent waterholes along Lawn Hill Creek. Dense vegetation and varied rock formations create the distinctive character of this large protected area.

The area became protected in 1990 to safeguard its ecosystems and geological formations from development. This decision recognized both the ecological value of the land and its long-standing importance to Aboriginal peoples.

The Gangalidda and Waanyi peoples maintain deep ties to this land through knowledge and practices shared across generations. Visitors can observe how this connection shapes the way the landscape is cared for and understood today.

The best time to visit is between May and September when weather is milder and water sources are most reliable. Prepare for long walks in open terrain and bring plenty of water, as shade is limited.

The rock pools along Lawn Hill Creek were carved by water over thousands of years and shift dramatically with the seasons. Heavy rains can create temporary waterfalls that suddenly bring these quiet places to life.
