Blackwood National Park, National park in Charters Towers Region, Queensland, Australia

Blackwood National Park lies in the Charters Towers Region, 924 km northwest of Brisbane and 15 km northwest of Belyando Crossing. It protects Brigalow Belt plant communities across gentle hilly country broken by rock bars and patches of sand or black-earth soil. Named after the blackwood acacia (Acacia argyrodendron), it also holds brigalow (Acacia harpophylla), eucalyptus species and spinifex grass.

The sources do not record when Blackwood was gazetted or any later boundary changes, so no founding or expansion dates can be given. The park exists to protect Brigalow Belt plant communities, including the blackwood acacia (Acacia argyrodendron) woodlands it is named after, alongside brigalow (Acacia harpophylla), eucalypts and spinifex grass. It lies in the Charters Towers Region, 924 km northwest of Brisbane and 15 km northwest of Belyando Crossing.

The park is named after the blackwood acacia (Acacia argyrodendron), whose woodlands gave the area its name; brigalow (Acacia harpophylla), several eucalyptus species and spinifex grass also grow here. The name refers to the tree, not to a person or an event.

The park is located in North Queensland and can be reached via Gregory Developmental Road, which passes through rural countryside. Visitors should prepare for warm weather and potentially humid conditions, especially when walking the trails.

The park takes its name from the blackwood acacia (Acacia argyrodendron), not the Australian blackwood tree of the English source; stands of brigalow (Acacia harpophylla), eucalypts and spinifex grass grow among the hills. Walking tracks exist but are not regularly maintained and are partly overgrown.
