Eurimbula National Park

Eurimbula National Park is a nature reserve on the central Queensland coast featuring mangrove forests, coastal vine thickets, and eucalyptus woodlands. The landscape transitions between flat coastal wetlands, paperback swamps, and patches of littoral rainforest throughout the protected area.

The area was first explored by Captain James Cook and botanist Joseph Banks during their initial Queensland landing in 1770. The coastal section was later designated as a protected area to preserve its diverse plant and animal life.

The Queensland Department of Environment and Science manages this protected area, preserving 757 plant species and 430 animal species for future generations.

Four designated camping zones provide access to different sections of the park, each with its own setting and amenities. The Bustard Head area offers direct beach access and fishing opportunities for visitors.

The protected area shelters rare and endangered animal species across its varied habitats. These species thrive within the different environments ranging from coastal zones to inland areas.
