Diamantina National Park

Diamantina National Park is a vast protected area in the Channel Country of South West Queensland, Australia, located approximately 1,278 kilometers west of Brisbane. The park covers an expanse of 5,070 square kilometers and encompasses the scenic Diamantine Lakes, a series of ancient river channels and permanent waterholes that punctuate the semi-arid landscape. Established in 1993 after the Queensland Government purchased the former Diamantina Lakes Station, the park is named after Lady Diamantina Bowen, wife of Sir George Bowen, the first Governor of Queensland. The park sits within the locality of Diamantina Lakes in the Shire of Diamantina, representing one of Australia's most remote and ecologically significant protected grassland ecosystems. The terrain averages 139 meters above sea level, featuring characteristic sandhill and gibber desert pavement formations that define this unique corner of the outback.
