Conondale National Park

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 and the adjacent state forest offer scenic drives, picnic areas and a choice of four grassy camp sites that sit alongside native rainforests and cool mountain streams. Walks range from a short stroll beside crystal clear creeks, to challenging hikes including to a hike to the Mount Allan fire tower or a trek 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 several species of frogs and the seldom-seen Yellow-Bellied Glider. Access is via gravel roads suitable for conventional vehicles with care. In wet weather, roads may be closed. The scenic drive that starts on Booloumba Creek Road and travels through the Kenilworth Forest Reserve, 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. Birdwatchers will enjoy Little Yabba Creek, while mountain bike and horse riders can explore the park and forest along vehicle tracks. And for the real adventurers, take the Booloumba Creek turn-off and head to Booloumba Falls for a swim in the hidden rock pools.
