Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park

This is one of Queensland's most scenic national parks. Numerous freshwater springs feed Lawn Hill Creek, and the park features spectacular gorge country, sandstone ranges and significant fossils.

Visit the World Heritage-listed Riversleigh fossil site. Camp beside Lawn Hill Creek and canoe its cool reaches. Enjoy one of the many walks that vary in length, difficulty and landscape. Cross the bridge and walk to the Wild Dog Dreaming Aboriginal art shelters.

Continue on to the lower gorge where freshwater crocodiles are often spotted basking in the sun. (They can become aggressive if disturbed. Take care if swimming.) Attractive purple-crowned fairy-wrens may also be seen along the creek edge.
