Conondale National Park

Natural Attractions

Conondale National Park forms the heart of an extensive area of unspoilt mountain scenery in the Conondale Range. With magnificent forests, deep gorges and spectacular views, this park offers scenic drives, a variety of walks, picnic areas and a choice of three grassy camp sites near rainforests and mountain streams.

Walks range from a short stroll beside crystal clear streams, to challenging hikes including to Mount Allan fire tower or along the four-day 56 kilometre Conondale Range Great Walk. It is a picturesque and ecologically important area, protecting the habitats of many rare and threatened animals, including the cascade treefrog and the seldom-seen yellow-bellied glider.

All park roads are gravel and at present suitable for high clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles only. The scenic drive starting on Booloumba Creek Road has several creek crossings that are only accessible by high clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles. Allow at least 90 minutes for the scenic drive and extra time for picnics and bushwalks.
