Juunju Daarrba Nhirrpan National Park, Nature reserve in Cape York Peninsula, Australia.
The Juunju Daarrba Nhirrpan National Park spans 8,039 hectares of tropical savanna and wetlands, reaching elevations up to 317 meters above sea level.
The protected area, established in December 1994, was initially named Starcke National Park until its renaming to honor indigenous heritage in November 2013.
The national park forms part of the Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land, reflecting thousands of years of indigenous connection to this Queensland territory.
Visitors need to prepare extensively for the remote location, situated 1,619 kilometers northwest of Brisbane, with Cooktown being the nearest town.
The park contains two hectares of natural riverine habitat, connecting to major water systems including the Jeannie River and Normanby River catchments.
