Blackwood National Park

Blackwood National Park extends across 16 square kilometers of land featuring dry rainforest, eucalyptus woodlands, rugged hills, gorges, and stony ridges at 264 meters elevation.

The protected area was established in 1991 and underwent an expansion in 1994 to preserve the natural Brigalow Belt plant communities of North Queensland.

The land within Blackwood National Park holds traditional significance for Indigenous peoples who maintain connections through practices and knowledge passed through generations.

Located 924 kilometers northwest of Brisbane, the park can be accessed via Gregory Developmental Road, where visitors can observe approximately 80 documented bird species.

The national park contains a network of alluvial flats and varied terrain that provides essential habitats for numerous plant species and wildlife native to Queensland.
