Moresby Range National Park

Moresby Range National Park encompasses 2.79 square kilometers of lowland tropical rainforest near the mouth of the Johnstone River, reaching elevations of 143 meters.

The Queensland government established this conservation area in 1973, with additional park developments implemented in 2016 to enhance environmental protection measures.

The park forms part of the Coastal Wet Tropics Important Bird Area, supporting conservation efforts for native Australian rainforest bird populations.

Visitors can access the park through designated trails near Innisfail, following guidelines provided by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science.

Scientists tracked five cassowaries within the park boundaries using GPS dataloggers with VHF transmitters to study their movement patterns.
