Macalister Range National Park, Nature reserve in Cairns Regional, Australia.
Macalister Range National Park stretches across tropical rainforest terrain with steep ridges, valleys, and diverse plant communities throughout the protected area.
The national park bears the name of Arthur Macalister, who served as Premier of Queensland during the nineteenth century and influenced regional development.
The Irukandji language group maintains traditional connections to this region, particularly around the Kuranda Range and Lower Barron River sections.
The Queensland Department of Environment and Science restricts public access to protect the cassowary population and maintain their natural habitat.
The elevation ranges from sea level at the Coral Sea to 630 meters at Saddle Mountain, creating distinct ecological zones within the park.
