Great Basalt Wall National Park

The Great Basalt Wall National Park spans 35,200 hectares of protected land featuring ancient volcanic formations and diverse geological structures in Queensland.

The park's foundation occurred on December 16, 1994, under the management of the Queensland Department of Environment and Science to preserve natural landscapes.

The park territory holds significance for Indigenous Australian communities who maintained connections with this land through generations.

Visitors can access the park through designated roads, but should bring essential supplies as no camping facilities are available within the protected area.

The Toomba volcanic flow created extensive lava formations that spread across 670 square kilometers, reaching distances of 120 kilometers from their source.
