Good Night Scrub National Park, Nature reserve in North Burnett Regional, Australia
Good Night Scrub is a protected nature reserve covering approximately 67 square kilometers in North Burnett Regional, dominated by dry rainforest with abundant hoop pine trees. The park sits within the Burnett River water catchment and preserves natural forest sections with varied vegetation.
The area received official designation as a national park on December 2, 2005, through the Queensland Department of Environment and Science. This formal protection status strengthened conservation measures for the woodland region and its ecosystems.
The land holds significance as traditional territory where Aboriginal communities shaped the landscape through generations of stewardship. Visitors can sense how people have long understood and worked within this natural environment.
The park lacks formal walking tracks, but visitors can navigate through existing fire trails that cross the terrain. Prepare for uneven ground and bring suitable footwear when exploring the woodland environment.
The reserve is home to more than 160 bird species and around 60 butterfly species, with several rare or threatened animals living here. This rich animal diversity makes the woodland reserve a valuable location for wildlife watchers.
