Forty Mile Scrub National Park 

An island of rainforest in a sea of eucalypt woodland, the park preserves rare, remnant semi-evergreen vine thicket. Large bottle trees along with fig, Burdekin plum and white cedar trees drop their leaves in the dry season, but spring to life with summer rain.

Take a break and have a picnic at the sheltered tables. Learn about the plants and animals found in this park on the short, self-guided walk through this unique forest. Listen for the ringing calls of pied currawongs and look for lemon-bellied flycatchers, rufous fantails and other birds in the trees.

Forty Mile Scrub National Park is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Camping in the park is prohibited.
