Mount Hypipamee National Park

Mount Hypipamee is a protected nature reserve in the Tablelands region of Far North Queensland. It contains rainforest vegetation mixed with open woodlands and volcanic rock formations that shape the landscape.

The area received protected status in 1939 and has remained under management ever since. This early protection reflects how long the region has been valued for its conservation importance.

This land holds deep meaning for Aboriginal peoples who have maintained a lasting connection to it across many generations. The landscape and its features remain woven into their stories and relationship with the natural world.

The reserve can be explored via marked walking trails that lead visitors through different parts of the landscape. Picnic areas and viewpoints are available for visitors to use and rest during their visit.

Within the park sits the Hypipamee Crater, a deep depression of volcanic origin surrounded by dense forest vegetation. This natural formation offers a window into the volcanic past of the region.
