Alwal National Park, Nature reserve in Cape York Peninsula, Australia
Alwal National Park encompasses 42 square kilometers of sandstone escarpments, rocky slopes, undulating hills, seasonal wetlands, and patches of vine thickets.
The Queensland Government established Alwal National Park in May 2010, transforming the former Mulkay property into a protected natural environment.
The Uw Olkola people maintain their connection to this land, collaborating with the Queensland Department of Environment and Science for park management.
The park contains thirty separate wetland ecosystems, requiring visitors to obtain necessary permits and check current conditions before planning their activities.
The Golden-shouldered parrot, which inspired the park's name from the Kunjen language, finds sanctuary among the diverse habitats of this reserve.
