Mount Pinbarren National Park, National park at Mount Pinbarren, Queensland, Australia
Mount Pinbarren National Park is a protected area in the mountainous region of southeastern Queensland, situated at approximately 329 meters above sea level. The terrain is surrounded by private properties and farmland, giving it a secluded character today.
The area received protection in 1929 and was later recognized as an IUCN category II protected area in 2002. These milestones show that conservation efforts have strengthened over time.
The name Pinbarren comes from the Aboriginal word Pimperon, showing the deep connection between this mountainous region and its original inhabitants.
Access requires special arrangements since the area is completely surrounded by private properties and farmland. Visitors should plan ahead to understand how to enter and which paths are available to explore.
A cyperus species that may be new to science grows on the summit. The park is also home to Coxen's fig parrot, one of Australia's rarest birds.
