Dryander National Park

Dryander National Park is a protected coastal mountain landscape in northern Queensland, Australia, situated approximately 938 kilometres northwest of Brisbane and north of the town of Proserpine.

Established in 1938, Dryander represents one of Queensland's older national parks and serves as a critical refuge for several endemic and endangered species in a region where natural habitats face ongoing development pressure.
