Lamington National Park

Lamington National Park is a protected area of exceptional ecological significance located in the McPherson Range along the Queensland-New South Wales border in eastern Australia. The park encompasses approximately 20,600 hectares of mountainous terrain, with most of its area situated around 900 metres above sea level, only 30 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean coast. Established in July 1915 and named after Lord Lamington, Governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1902, the park protects one of the most diverse areas of vegetation in Australia, including one of the largest upland subtropical rainforest remnants in the world and the most northern Antarctic beech cool temperate rainforests in the country. The park forms the core of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Site and is recognized as part of the Scenic Rim Important Bird Area, home to more than 200 rare and threatened plant and animal species.
