Welcome

For generations, people have gathered at the Bunya Mountains where rainforest-clad peaks rising above the plains shelter the largest stand of ancient bunya pines in the world today.

In times past, Traditional Custodians from across south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales gathered to feast and celebrate the bounty of the bunya nut harvest. The Bunya Mountains are still a gathering place, with visitors coming to camp, walk and rest in the cool mountain environment.

Location

About 200km or three hours' drive north-west of Brisbane, via steep and winding roads on the final ascent up the mountains.

What's special

Discover cool mountains with ancient rainforests, unique range-top grasslands, panoramic views, colourful birdlife and enthralling stories of times long ago.
