Forest Den National Park, Nature reserve in Barcaldine Regional, Australia.
Forest Den National Park is a nature reserve with varied landscapes ranging from woodlands to grasslands situated at around 243 meters elevation. The protected area spans approximately 59 square kilometers of wilderness in the region.
The protected area was established in 1991 to preserve the natural ecosystems of the region. This creation marked an important step in safeguarding local biodiversity.
The land has connections to Indigenous communities who maintained traditional relationships with the environment over many generations.
The site is located roughly 990 kilometers northwest of Brisbane and is mainly designed for day visits. There are no camping facilities to protect the local ecosystems.
The area contains substantial populations of black gidgee trees, which are an important part of Queensland's plant diversity. These trees are well adapted to local conditions and shape the woodland appearance.
