Astrebla Downs National Park

Astrebla Downs National Park is a nature reserve in Queensland with flat terrain scattered with sparse trees. The landscape consists of open grasslands and low vegetation typical of this inland region.

The area was originally part of a large cattle property and became a national park in 1995. This transformation occurred to protect native animal species and their habitats.

The Queensland Department of Environment and Science manages this protected area, implementing conservation strategies for endangered species and their habitats.

The park is located inland in western Queensland and is difficult to reach. Visitors should prepare well in advance, as the area is remote and has limited facilities.

The reserve is home to a significant population of a rare marsupial found in only a few places across Australia. This animal population is a key reason for the park's protection efforts.
