WHERE CULGOA Floodplain National Park is situated 800km west of Brisbane on the Nsw/queensland border. It’s a very remote park that requires planning and a 4WD to visit the area. While not a huge park it does hold special meaning to the local Aboriginal people and has numerous relics from pastoral and grazing days. Hebel, 140km east of the park, has an interestin­g past and is well worth a visit.

CAMPING AND FACILITIES THIS is a very remote park with no facilities. There are two bush camping areas: Redbank Hut, which is 12km from the ranger’s station, and Byra Lagoon area, which is only 500 metres from the station. Being remote you need to be self-sufficient. The Royal Flying Doctor Service operates in this area.

THINGS TO DO CULGOA Floodplain National Park features walking trails (the park ranger can provide a map), remote camping, photo-ops, bird and animal watching, and plenty of local history.

FURTHER INFORMATIO­N MOST relevant informatio­n including booking a campsite, warnings and park features can be found on Queensland’s Department of National Parks website (www.npsr.qld.gov.au). Maps can also be downloaded highlighti­ng basic informatio­n and points of interest. The park ranger provides an up-to-date map with relevant informatio­n.
