Girraween is situated approximately 260km by road south-west of
Brisbane. To reach the park, turn off the
New England Highway 26km south of
Stanthorpe or 30km north of
Tenterfield. The winding bitumen road continues a further 9km east through the Wyberba Valley to the
park information centre. The alternative road from
Stanthorpe to Girraween via Eukey and Storm King
Dam has some gravel sections.Girraween National Park boasts massive
granite outcrops, balancing boulders, clear running streams and spectacular
wildflowers in spring. Golden wattles, yellow, red and purple pea flowers, dainty orchids and flannel flowers grow amid forests of red-gum, stringybark and blackbutt. Frogs, lizards and snakes rustle among the leaf litter. Brilliant turquoise parrots, yellow-tufted honeyeaters and superb fairy-wrens splash the
granite-strewn countryside with colour, while red-necked wallabies, brush-tailed possums and spiny echidnas weave their way through the wonders of the woodland.
