Description
Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park is one of Queensland's most scenic national parks, featuring spectacular gorge country, sandstone ranges and significant fossils. The Waanyi Aboriginal people have strong cultural ties with the park, while pastoralists of European descent have recent historical connections. Visit the World Heritage-listed Riversleigh fossil site. Numerous freshwater springs feed Lawn Hill Creek.
Camp beside the creek and canoe its cool reaches. Attractive purple-crowned fairy-wrens may be seen along the creek edge. Enjoy one of the many walks that vary in length, difficulty and landscape. Cross the bridge and walk to the Wild Dog Dreaming Aboriginal art shelters. Continue on to the lower gorge where freshwater crocodiles are often spotted basking in the sun. (They can become aggressive if disturbed. Take care if swimming.)

The entire distance from Burketown and approximately 170 kilometres of road from Mount Isa is unsealed and can be rough, with patches of bulldust and corrugation when it is dry.

Always check road conditions.
