Auburn River National Park

Auburn River National Park encompasses steep gorges, hardwood forests, and numerous rock pools along the Auburn River, covering 3.9 square kilometers in Queensland.

The national park, established in 1964, contains remnants from a late 19th-century gold rush period when prospectors temporarily settled in the region.

The land holds deep connections to the Djaku-nde and Jangerie Jangerie Aboriginal groups who maintained their presence in the area before European settlement.

Visitors can access three walking tracks of varying lengths: the 600-meter Gorge Lookout Walk, the 1.5-kilometer Riverbed Trail, and the 3.2-kilometer Gorge-top Walk.

The park provides a habitat for brush-tailed rock-wallabies, which inhabit the steep riverbanks and rocky outcrops throughout the protected area.
