Rundle Range National Park

Rundle Range National Park is a nature reserve in central Queensland that extends across rolling terrain with mixed woodland habitats. The park encompasses river valleys and transitional areas where different ecological zones meet and support diverse plant and animal life.

The area received protected status in 1994 to preserve the natural habitats of the Brigalow Belt region. The designation reflected growing recognition of the ecological importance of this landscape for local biodiversity.

The park contains 555 recognized species, including eastern grey kangaroos, black-striped wallabies, and southern greater gliders within its varied woodland environments.

The park sits near Mount Larcom and is reachable by road from Brisbane heading northwest. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear for uneven ground and prepare for changing weather conditions.

The reserve is home to two rare bird species, the glossy black-cockatoo and the southern squatter pigeon, which need specialized protection efforts. These birds rely on specific woodland types found in only a few Queensland locations.
