Lockerbie Scrub, Area of closed forest and woodland on the northern tip of Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia

Lockerbie Scrub is a nature preserve at the northern tip of Queensland, consisting of closed forest and woodland areas. The landscape is surrounded by tropical savanna and creates a striking contrast with its surroundings.

The area gained recognition in 1976 through a national park proposal and was nominated for the Register of National Estate in 1980. This acknowledgment helped protect the land and its features for future generations.

Land tenure is mostly Aboriginal land held under a Deed of Grant in Trust, with freehold pockets around the communities of New Mapoon and Bamaga, both near the scrub's southern edge. The name Lockerbie comes from the pastoral property that once covered this country.

Lockerbie Scrub lies at the northern tip of the Cape York Peninsula, around the communities of New Mapoon and Bamaga. Most of the land is Aboriginal land held under a Deed of Grant in Trust, with pockets of freehold near those communities. Access is by unsealed roads, and the monsoonal climate brings a well-defined wet season when travel is hardest.

About 158 km2 of the scrub forms an Important Bird Area, a migratory bottleneck for spangled drongos and rainbow bee-eaters. Ten bird species whose Australian range is confined to Cape York Peninsula also occur here, among them palm cockatoos, trumpet manucodes and frill-necked monarchs.
