Exploring the Natural Wonder in our backyard - Main Range National Park near Maryvale, Queensland.

Nestled in the scenic Southern Downs region of Queensland, lies a pristine paradise waiting to be discovered: Main Range National Park. With its rugged landscapes, diverse flora and fauna, and breathtaking views, this natural gem offers a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.




A Tapestry of Natural Splendor:

Main Range National Park stretches across the Great Dividing Range, encompassing approximately 30,000 hectares of untamed wilderness. The park is a mosaic of rugged peaks, deep gorges, cascading waterfalls, and lush rainforests, providing a diverse range of ecosystems to explore. Its incredible biodiversity has earned it a well-deserved place on the prestigious World Heritage List.


Waterfalls and Natural Pools:

Main Range National Park is adorned with numerous cascades and waterfalls, creating a refreshing oasis within its untamed landscape. The beautiful Queen Mary Falls, a short drive from Warwick, is a highlight of the park. Witness the water plummeting over the cliffs into the valley below, immersing yourself in the splendor of nature's power. For those seeking a dip in crystal-clear waters, the Dalrymple Creek offers serene natural pools to cool off and relax in during the warmer months.


Birdwatcher's Paradise:

With its diverse range of habitats, Main Range National Park serves as a sanctuary for an array of bird species. Keen birdwatchers will delight in the opportunity to spot rare and colorful avian inhabitants, including the regent bowerbird, satin bowerbird, and Albert's lyrebird. Grab your binoculars and explore the park's trails, keeping an eye (and ear) out for these feathered treasures.





Eat, Stay & Explore:

For those eager to extend their stay and immerse themselves in the park's tranquility, our little Pub is just 17kms (13mins) from the park entry and offers comfortable room accommodation but also space to pull up in your Caravan or Motor Home - perfect for those on the trail exploring our region. Open Wed-Sun we offer lunch & dinner with a warm and friendly atmosphere - full of rich history and architecture about the Maryvale Crown Hotel preserving its historic charm. Make a weekend of it and plan your visit on one of our event weekends. All upcoming events can be found on our website - but also follow along on FB to keep up to date.
