Description
Lakefield National Park, Queensland's second-largest national park, features spectacular wetlands and extensive river systems. Lakefield is a wildlife refuge for threatened species including the red goshawk, Lakeland Downs mouse and spectacled hare-wallaby. Hann and Kalpowar crossings are two of the many significant Aboriginal cultural heritage sites found in this landscape. Bush camp beside a waterhole at one of several peaceful campgrounds. Visit old homestead sites for a brush with history. Fish for barramundi in the waterholes. Watch waterbirds at Low Lake. See lotus-lilies at Red and White Lily lagoons.
