About Woondum

Park features

Woondum National Park was declared in 2009 and protects mountains clothed in tall eucalypt forest and rainforest, with cascading boulder-strewn creeks and diverse wildlife.

Before gazettal the area was managed as State forest and provided seed stock for plantations all over south-east Queensland. Spotted gum Corymbia citriodora subsp.variegata seed was particularly significant because Woondum's population is resistant to fungal leaf and shoot disease.

Looking after the park

Protect the natural environment and help ensure the survival of native plants and animals living here, by following these guidelines.

• Everything within national parks and forests is protected. Do not take or interfere with plants, animals, soil or rocks.
• Do not feed or leave food for animals. Human food can harm wildlife and cause some animals to become aggressive.
• Dogs are not permitted in Woondum National Park, except under permit or authority, including travelling in vehicles and trailers through the national park.
• Stay on the track. Do not cut corners or create new tracks.
• Take your rubbish with you—bins are not provided.
• Obey signs and safety notices.

See the guidelines on caring for parks for more information about protecting our environment and heritage in parks.
