D'Aguilar National Park

D'Aguilar National Park is a nature reserve in Queensland featuring eucalypt forests, rainforests, and woodlands that spread across different elevation zones. The park contains eight remote bush camping areas and two vehicle-accessible camping grounds with basic facilities.

The area became a national park in 2009 under management by Queensland's Department of Environment and Science to protect the natural ecosystems. This formal protection marked an important shift toward preserving the D'Aguilar Range landscape.

Aboriginal communities have long connections to this land and its waterways, shaping how people understand this part of Queensland. Visitors walking through the park can sense this deep relationship with the landscape.

Bring sturdy walking shoes and prepare for uneven terrain and changing weather as you explore the park. The early morning hours offer the best conditions for spotting wildlife and avoiding heat.

The park hosts hundreds of bird species and numerous frog types that become especially active during rainy seasons. This diversity of wildlife creates unexpected moments for visitors who pause to listen and observe.
