Palmgrove National Park, Nature reserve in Queensland, Australia.
Palmgrove National Park is a nature reserve in Queensland covering diverse landscapes of sandstone formations, eucalyptus woodlands, and subtropical rainforest sections. The reserve contains a mix of different ecosystems that together support a range of specialized wildlife species.
The area was designated a national park by the Queensland government in 1994 under the Nature Conservation Act. The designation was made to protect the valuable natural landscapes and their wildlife diversity.
BirdLife International recognizes this protected area for sustaining the westernmost population of Black-breasted Buttonquails in Australia.
The park is not open to the general public due to its remote location and challenging terrain conditions. Visitors should be aware that the area is available only for scientific purposes and under special permits.
The reserve is home to rare animal species including northern quolls and glossy black cockatoos. These species are found only in a limited area of Australia, making the park especially valuable to wildlife scientists.
