Bellthorpe National Park

Bellthorpe National Park is a nature reserve in the southern Conondale Range of Queensland, combining eucalypt forest and tropical rainforest across its landscape. The park protects land within two major river catchments that feed different waterways.

The Queensland Department of Environment and Science protected this land in 2010, recognizing its importance for conservation. This protection marked a significant moment in preserving the forests and their ecosystems.

The land carries significance for Aboriginal communities, linking visitors to Indigenous histories rooted in this region. Exploring the forest helps people understand this cultural connection that remains alive today.

The Stony Creek day-use area offers accessible facilities including toilets, picnic tables, and barbecues for visitors. These amenities make it easy to spend time exploring the forest without complicated planning.

Multiple small waterfalls and cascades dot Stony Creek throughout the park, offering scenic spots that many visitors discover while walking the forest trails. These flowing water features create natural focal points along the paths.
