Astrebla Downs National Park

Astrebla Downs National Park covers 1,740 square kilometers of flat terrain with sparse trees and an average elevation of 108 meters above sea level.

The area transformed from the Store Paddock of Davenport Downs cattle property into a national park in 1995 to protect native wildlife populations.

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

The park stands 1,298 kilometers west of Brisbane, and visitors should contact authorities beforehand as there are no direct public access facilities.

The reserve houses one-third of Queensland's remaining bilby population, with 471 individuals counted during a 2021 survey within its boundaries.
