Welford National Park
Jundah

In Welford National Park, wind-blown sand dunes form a dramatic contrast to white-barked ghost gums, golden-green spinifex and delicate wildflowers. The Barcoo River, with its large permanent waterholes, dissects the park, which protects examples of three of Queensland's natural arid regions: mulga lands, channel country and Mitchell grass downs. The entire park is on the Queensland Heritage Register.

Aboriginal reminders include wells and stone arrangements. The rammed earth homestead is a rare example of early pioneer architecture. Watch wildlife, including yellow-footed rock-wallabies sheltering in rocky outcrops and vulnerable Major Mitchell cockatoos. Drive the scenic tracks around the park. Go fishing. Enjoy a bush camp at Little Boomerang or Trafalgar, waterholes on the Barcoo River.
