Blackdown Tableland National Park

Blackdown Tableland is a national park in Queensland (Australia), 576 km northwest of Brisbane. It is a 600 m sandstone plateau rising abruptly from the plains below. The plateau has a more temperate local climate than the surrounding plains, supporting open forests, heath, ferns, and a variety of plants and animals, several of which are not found anywhere else.

It is the traditional home of the Ghungalu people, whose rock art can be found in the park.
