Description
Black Mountain National Park protects an imposing mountain range of massive black granite boulders at the northern end of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. This intriguing landscape is the source of many legends and is home to some unique wildlife. One frog species and two lizard species are found here and nowhere else. Godman's rock-wallabies and ghost bats (vulnerable to extinction) also live here. Read the signs at the carpark to learn about the park's special history and unique wildlife. From the viewing platform, use your binoculars to look for the surprisingly large fig trees growing among the boulders on the distant mountain.
