Forty Mile Scrub National Park, Nature reserve in Tablelands Regional, Australia
Forty Mile Scrub National Park encompasses 6,307 hectares of diverse landscapes with open woodlands, heathlands, and grasslands in subtropical Queensland.
The Queensland government established this protected area in 1970 to preserve the natural ecosystems formed by ancient volcanic streams.
The park functions as an environmental research site where scientists study the relationships between inland dry rainforests and their surrounding environments.
Visitors can access designated trails and picnic areas 224 kilometers southwest of Cairns, with optimal visiting conditions during winter months.
The national park houses the largest cockroach species on Earth within its semi-evergreen vine forests and natural springs.
