White Mountains National Park

White Mountains National Park is a protected area in Queensland featuring diverse landscapes across different elevations. The park contains forests, rocky outcrops, and open terrain that create varied environments for wildlife and vegetation.

The park was established in two stages, first protected in 1990 and then expanded with additional land in 2009. This gradual growth reflects how conservation efforts have developed in the region over time.

The land holds deep meaning for Aboriginal communities who have lived here for countless generations. Their connection to this place remains visible in how the environment is understood and respected.

The park has limited facilities, so visitors should bring plenty of water and supplies for their stay. Marked walking tracks and camping areas help with navigation and planning your time here.

Scientists use the park as a research site to study how climate and wildlife respond to environmental changes. This ongoing research provides important insights into Queensland's natural systems.
