Beschrijving

Girraween National Park is an area of the Granite Belt in the Darling Downs region of Queensland. Girraween is known for its spectacular flowers, dramatic landscapes and wildlife. The national park features granite landscapes, balancing boulders, clear streams, wetlands, cascades and open forest. The granite outcroppings dominate the local scenery. The park contains many kilometres of walking trails. The Junction Walk is an easy ramble along a creek dotted with rock pools, where springtime wildflowers and a spectacular range of birdlife abound.

Among the birds you can encounter along the track are Chestnut-rumped Heathwren (Halfway up track, in heathy area), Satin Bowerbird, Eastern Spinebill, Spotted Quail-thrush, Yellow-tufted Honeyeater, White-eared Honeyeater, Mistletoebird, Superb Lyrebird, Brown Quail, Common Bronzewing, Wonga Pigeon, Varied Sittella and Grey Fantail. Many other birds are seen here.

Toegang

Girraween National Park is located on the Queensland–New South Wales border, 260 km south-west of Brisbane, halfway between Stanthorpe and Tenterfield. The national park can be easily accessed by car to the main carpark. Then, you can take the Junction track (very well signposted), which is 2.5 km one way and then back along the same track. The track must be on foot. The area is located near Stanthorpe (QLD), about half an hour away. A day is preferred, but if you can walk fast, a little less.
