Eurimbula National Park is a picturesque coastal park with sandy beaches, paperbark swamps, eucalypt forest, mangroves, rainforest and wildflowers in the spring. Joseph Banks Conservation Park's rocky headland is bounded by ocean on the east and estuary to the west and provides magnificent views north across Eurimbula National Park to Bustard Head and Rodd's Peninsula. Eurimbula National Park features a transition of vegetation and landform that is unique in central Queensland. Look for the marked changes in plant communities from mangrove-fringed estuaries, freshwater paperbark swamps, coastal lowland eucalypt forests with weeping cabbage palms to tall rainforest with elegant hoop pines Araucaria cunninghamii.
