Wooroonooran National Park, Nature reserve in Queensland, Australia

Wooroonooran National Park spans 798 square kilometers of tropical rainforest, containing Queensland's highest mountains, Mount Bartle Frere and Mount Bellenden Ker.

The Queensland Department of Environment and Science established Wooroonooran National Park in 2005 as part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.

The Aboriginal name Wooroonooran translates to Black Rock, reflecting the deep connection of Indigenous communities to this mountainous region.

Visitors can access multiple walking tracks, camping facilities at Henrietta Creek, and observe wildlife from the Mamu Rainforest Tropical Skywalk.

The park receives some of the highest rainfall measurements in Australia, supporting over 500 tree species including the country's only native rhododendron.
