White Mountains National Park 

More photos   

White Mountains National Park is characterised by white sandstone formations and a complex gorge system. The pure white colouring of the sandstone from which the name White Mountains was derived, makes it one of the most scenic parks in Queensland.

White Mountains is also a haven for reptiles. These ‘cold blooded’ animals rely on external heat to warm their sunning bodies and can often be seen sunning themselves on rocks or branches. A variety of ducks, honeyeaters and friarbirds are also at home here as food, particularly nectar, is ample when the park is in full bloom.

The spectacled hare wallaby lives in the hummock grasslands of open woodland understorey in White Mountains National Park. Evidence of the pebble mound mouse have been found in the Burra Range Section of the park. Both mammals are experiencing gradual changes to their habitat as a result of grazing pressures, changes in fire patterns, erosion and predation.
