Boonoo Boonoo National Park

Boonoo Boonoo National Park protects a spectacular section of wilderness where Boonoo Boonoo Creek plunges over a dramatic granite escarpment, creating one of the region's most impressive waterfalls. The park encompasses pockets of cool-climate rainforest that thrive in the sheltered gorges, alongside eucalypt forest and open woodland. Though officially a New South Wales park, its position near the Queensland border makes it easily accessible for visitors exploring the Granite Belt region. Walking tracks wind through the landscape, offering opportunities to experience the falls from different vantage points and explore the unique vegetation zones.

The park caters to day visitors with picnic facilities positioned to take advantage of the natural surroundings, while those wanting to linger longer will find camping options available. Visitors often describe the falls themselves as the highlight, particularly after good rainfall when water volume transforms the cascade into a powerful spectacle. The park's relatively remote location means it typically sees fewer crowds than some better-known destinations, a quality that regulars appreciate for the sense of solitude it provides. The cooler temperatures in the rainforest gullies offer welcome relief during warmer months, making it a popular retreat for those seeking respite in nature.
