In the foothills of the Burnett Range, Kalpowar State Forest protects a mosaic of forests. Patches of dense rainforest contain more than 150 plant species. Towering hoop pines remain between open eucalypt forests and hoop pine plantations.
The First Nations Bailai, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng, Taribelang Bunda people have maintained a strong and continuing association with the Kalpowar State Forest for thousands for years.
Fireclay Road got its name from local clay used to make bricks before the plantations were established here. First harvesting of hoop pine occurred in 1918. The first hoop pine plantation of about 12ha was developed in 1934 and the last available area was planted in 1991.
