Danbulla National Park

Danbulla National Park is a nature reserve featuring mixed landscapes with eucalyptus forests, pine plantations, and rainforest bordering Lake Tinaroo's western shore. The terrain creates varied habitats that support different plant and animal life.

The reserve was formally established in 2011 to protect the region's natural landscapes for the future. This action marked the beginning of official conservation efforts for the area.

Aboriginal communities have maintained a long presence here, with the land holding deep meaning in their traditions and way of life. Visitors can encounter evidence of this connection at different locations throughout the park.

The dry season offers the best visiting conditions, with more stable weather and easier track access throughout the park. Multiple entry points provide access to camping grounds, walking trails, and picnic areas for various activities.

Volcanic rock formations from ancient times shape the landscape and remain visible throughout the reserve today. These geological features make it a rewarding destination for those interested in exploring how the land was formed.
