Crows Nest National Park is just outside the town of Crows Nest near
Toowoomba.
Take the
New England Highway north from
Toowoomba and drive 50km to Crows Nest. Turn off the highway and drive 6km east to the park. Spectacular creek scenery,
granite outcrops, a scenic waterfall and eucalypt forest remnants in the headwaters of Crows Nest Creek are protected in Crows Nest National Park on the Great Dividing Range west of
Brisbane.
Few
places have such a wonderful variety of eucalypt trees from gums to stringybarks, bloodwoods and ironbarks, delighting the amateur naturalist. The park is a haven for wildlife including platypus, swamp wallabies, echidnas, bandicoots, lace monitors, birds, and the brush-tailed
rock-wallaby Petrogale penicillata, which is vulnerable to extinction in Queensland.
Camping permit required. Sign posted access via Three Mile Road from Crows Nest.
