The Palms National Park

In the Brisbane River headwaters, The Palms National Park protects a small remnant of mixed palm vine forest and subtropical rainforest.

Exploring The Palms

The Palms is a great place for a stopover on your way to the Bunya Mountains. Have a bush picnic with the local wildlife. Boil or treat the water before drinking.

Walk through the forest. Look for grey-headed flying-foxes camping over the creek in summer and visiting black-breasted button-quails in winter and spring.

Walking

See piccabeen palms, a large strangler fig, bunya and hoop pines, and buttressed trees along the track and boardwalks through the rainforest.

Getting there

The park is 7km north-east of Cooyar. Turn off the New England Highway 1km north of Cooyar then drive 6km to the park.
