Australia: The Land Where Time Began
Conondale National Park
What's special?
West of the Mary River valley, Conondale National Park protects important remnants of grassy open eucalypt forest, tall wet sclerophyll forest and subtropical rainforest. These forests were once more extensive in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.The park is the central undisturbed core of an extensive area of forest reserves in the Conondale Range and an important refuge for many rare and threatened animals. The catchments of Bundaroo and Peters Creeks which flow into Booloumba Creek are protected in the park.
