Mount Barney National Park

Mount Barney National Park is a rugged undeveloped park for experienced bushwalkers and climbers. Queensland's third highest peak. Facilities at Yellow Pinch and Lower Portals only. For safety, all visitors must register with the Ranger at Boonah.

Mt Barney National Park is one of the largest areas of undisturbed natural vegetation remaining in southeast Queensland. Platypus, Kingfishers, Honey Eaters, Robins, many birds of prey, Brush Tailed Rock Wallabies and Kangaroos can be seen in the park.

With many rare and restricted plant species much of the area is open Eucalypt Forest. Other plants are River she-oaks, Bottlebrushes, Golden Silky oaks, patches of rainforest and Antarctic Beech Forest.

Mt Barney, with its high peaks, large crevices, caves and valleys, has special significances to three tribes of Aboriginal people. Each tribe has their connections with the mountain. In 1980 Mt Lindesay and Mt Barney National parks joined to form the current Mt Barney National Park, named after the parks highest and most imposing peak
