Come & take in this Heritage-listed ancient rainforest.
Main Range National Park traverses the Cunningham Highway near Ipswich and Warwick in the Southern Downs Area. This heritage-listed ancient rainforest links South East Queensland’s Scenic Rim in the east with an arc of Gondwana lined peaks, ridges, and escarpments to the west.
The largest sweep of rainforest in south-east Queensland is preserved by the Main Range National Park.
The park has four visitor nodes, the most convenient to Warwick being the Goomburra section, lying in the western foothills of the Great Dividing Range.
Here manna gums and New England blackbutts grow in exposed dry forest, while down in the humid gullies are palms and epihpytes.
Beginning on the west side of the Goomburra section is a pair of loops: The Ridge Track and the Cascade Circuit, setting off from the well-equipped Manna Gum Camping Area.
Go east, further into the range, and there are point-to-point hikes to mountain lookouts and the beautiful Araucaria Falls.
