Centenary of Parks 2008
100 years of national parks in Queensland
The vivid splendour of our offshore islands; the whispering solitude of our remote bushland; the unique animals, the mighty trees and the rare plants of our wild places - these are Queensland's national park regions.
They're older than everyone; they're home to creatures and plants that are seen nowhere else in the world; they're places to walk, to explore, to listen and to wonder.
All of them are unique in ways that give them a special place in our hearts and lives.
They have inspired Indigenous Australians for thousands of years and they've been a source of inspiration and renewal for millions of people since the first park was created in 1908.
Find about the past, present and future of our national parks, visit Queensland's very first national park, Witches Falls, or take a tour of the parks and forests waiting to welcome you the length and breadth of the state.
