History

Carnarvon National Park has grown significantly since its inception, and Carnarvon Gorge is now but one of its seven sections.

  • Goodlife
  • Salvator Rosa
  • Ka Ka Mundi
  • Buckland Tableland
  • Mount Moffatt
  • Carnarvon Gorge
  • Moolayember

In expanding the National Park, the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service have sought to enhance the reserves catchment value and increase the diversity of regional ecosystems protected within its boundaries. The park's regional conservation importance is significant as its 298,000 hectares represents over half the total landmass of protected areas within the Southern Brigalow Belt bioregion.
