Poona National Park

Poona National Park is a nature reserve on Queensland's coast that sits between river mouths and the sea. The landscape features wetlands and forests that support diverse habitats for native plants and animals.

The area was protected by the Queensland government in 2008 to preserve the region's natural ecosystems. This action recognized the importance of the diverse habitats for long-term conservation of wildlife.

Indigenous communities maintained connections with this land for generations, using its resources and incorporating it into their traditions.

Visitors can fish at certain spots like Kalah Creek, but overnight camping is not permitted within the park. Most activities focus on day visits to explore the different habitats and landscapes.

The reserve safeguards multiple ecosystems, from coastal wetlands to woodlands, creating habitats for native plants and animals.
