Girraween National Park Totally Explained

Everything about Girraween National Park totally explained

Girraween National Park is an area of the Granite Belt in south-east Queensland, Australia reserved as a national park.
   The park is situated 40km south of Stanthorpe, Queensland. The southern boundary of the park is the state border between Queensland and New South Wales.
   It features granite landscapes and open forest. The granite outcroppings, such as the Pyramids and Castle Rock, dominate the local scenery.
   The park features many kilometres of graded walking trails to the park's major features like the first Pyramid, Castle Rock, The Sphinx, Turtle Rock, Underground Creek and Mt Norman - the highest point in the park at 1267 metres. Fire trails can be followed when venturing into the southern and eastern sections of the park.
   The park has abundant fauna, including some that are rarely seen elsewhere in Queensland, such as the common wombat, spotted quoll and the turquoise parrot.
   It is also famed for its flora. In spring, many wildflowers bloom, which led to its being called "place of flowers" in the indigenous language.
   It is a twin park with Bald Rock National Park, which lies across the border in New South Wales, and features Bald Rock, the second-largest monolith (after Uluru) on the continent. Curiously, South Bald Rock and West Bald Rock lie in Girraween National Park in Queensland, not in Bald Rock NP in New South Wales.
