Topaz Road National Park, Nature reserve in Tablelands Regional, Australia.
Description
Topaz Road National Park is a nature reserve covered with rainforest in the Tablelands region. Visitors walk through dense vegetation and experience the tropical forest environment that surrounds the upper Johnstone River valley.
History
The reserve was established in 1977 to protect this rainforest from development. The creation of this protected area reflected growing efforts to preserve Queensland's natural ecosystems.
Culture
The national park forms an integral section of the Wet Tropics of Queensland, recognized under UNESCO World Heritage designation.
Practical
Wear sturdy shoes because the trails can be wet and slippery in this rainforest environment. It is best to visit early in the day and bring plenty of water, as the humid forest stays warm throughout the visit.
