Bowling Green Bay National Park

Bowling Green Bay National Park is a protected area in Queensland that combines mangrove swamps, salt marshes, and flat coastal lands. The park supports a wide variety of wildlife across these different habitat zones.

The area gained protection status in 1977 when it was formally established. Further expansion occurred in 2010 to strengthen conservation measures and extend protected zones.

The park serves as a research center for scientists studying coastal ecosystems while providing educational opportunities about wetland preservation and environmental protection.

The park features walking trails and viewing areas open to visitors. Timing your visit can be important, as seasons affect wildlife activity and accessibility.

The park is recognized as a wetland of global importance for migratory birds. Thousands of birds use these waters as a crucial stop during their seasonal journeys.
