Auburn River National Park, Protected national park near Mundubbera, Australia
Auburn River National Park is a protected area near Mundubbera featuring steep gorges, hardwood forests, and numerous rock pools along the Auburn River. The landscape is made up of dense vegetation and rocky formations that create a varied terrain.
The park was established in 1964 to protect the area from development. It preserves traces from the late 1800s when gold prospectors briefly settled in the region during a small rush.
This land was home to the Djaku-nde and Jangerie Jangerie peoples long before European settlers arrived. Their connection to the place remains woven into the landscape today.
The park offers three walking tracks that range from short strolls to longer hikes through the landscape. Wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water, as the ground is uneven and steep in many places.
The park is an important refuge for brush-tailed rock-wallabies that live along the steep riverbanks. These small marsupials are perfectly adapted to the rocky outcrops found throughout the area.
