Mount Aberdeen National Park

Mount Aberdeen National Park, Nature reserve in Whitsunday Regional, Australia.

Mount Aberdeen National Park consists of two separate granite sections in North Queensland, 40 km south-west of Bowen. The eastern Mount Aberdeen section covers 1,840 ha and rises to a 901 m summit; the western Highlanders Bonnet section covers 1,370 ha and reaches 624 m. Hoop pine grows on the slopes of both peaks.

The Mount Aberdeen section of 1,840 hectares was dedicated as national park in 1952, and the separate Highlanders Bonnet section of 1,370 hectares followed in 1967. The two blocks lie about 40 km south-west of Bowen and 961 km north-west of Brisbane.

The park's name comes from Mount Aberdeen, the 901 m granite summit whose slopes carry hoop pine and the region's only tropical cloud forest. The smaller western section is named Highlanders Bonnet, after the 624 m granite peak. Neither name is Aboriginal in the sources; both are colonial survey names recorded for the two peaks.

The park has no direct public access road and no public facilities, so there is no car park, track or signage to rely on. Both sections lie about 40 km south-west of Bowen and 961 km north-west of Brisbane. Plan access and timing in advance rather than expecting a roadside stop.

Mount Aberdeen's summit, at 901 m, holds the only tropical cloud forest in the region; the lower Highlanders Bonnet section reaches 624 m. In the park there is also a red gum and snow grass community found nowhere else in Queensland. The Mount Elliott grey ant reaches its southern limit here.
