Bladensburg National Park, Nature reserve in Queensland, Australia.

Bladensburg National Park spans grassland plains, river flats, sandstone ranges, and flat-topped mesas in northwestern Queensland. The varied landscapes include different soil types and rock formations shaped by ancient waterways that once flowed through the region.

The area became a protected zone in 1984, converting from a former sheep farming operation. This shift aimed to preserve the local ecosystems and their natural habitats for the long term.

The park lies within the territory of the Koa people. It holds Aboriginal story places and ceremonial grounds, and Skull Hole, a waterhole on the head of Mistake Creek where around 200 Aboriginal people were killed in about 1872, an event known as the Bladensburg massacre. The site is preserved within the park.

Visitors can camp near Surprise Creek, explore walking trails, and use picnic areas throughout the park. It is wise to bring your own water supplies since local sources are limited.

The park holds geological formations from ancient riverbeds, while Scrammy Gorge offers expansive views across the Mitchell Grass Downs and Channel Country landscape. These vistas reveal how water and time have sculpted the terrain over millennia.
