Diamantina National Park
Winton

In Diamantina National Park, the mighty Diamantina River, one of Queensland's longest, cuts braided channels through gibber flats, sand dunes and red-capped ranges. The park supports a large number of rare and threatened plants and animals, including the greater bilby. It is also a special place for the Aboriginal Maiawali and Karuwali people. Some of the lakes are listed as wetlands of national importance, while old station buildings, cemeteries and hotel ruins are reminders of historic pastoral use.

The rich colours of this park delight eager photographers. On the157 kilometre Warracoota drive, see changing landscapes, a stock camp and old cattle yards. Experience bush camping at Hunter's Gorge or Gum Waterhole. Go fishing, canoeing and birdwatching. Enjoy spectacular wildflowers which emerge after rain.
