What's Local

Blackdown Tableland

Nature & Parks

Blackdown is the traditional home of the Ghungalu people, who have visited this place for thousands of years and have left behind rock art; vivid reminders of their special culture. Note: The 6km sealed road up the tableland is steep and winding so is unsuitable for towing heavy trailers or caravans.
Rising abruptly above the surrounding plains, Blackdown Tableland National Park is a cool oasis. Covering approximately 47,950 hectares, this sandstone plateau boasts colourful wildlife, spectacular views and a range of nature-based activities.
