Lama Lama National Park

Lama Lama National Park is a protected area on Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland, Australia, established in 2008. The park spans approximately 356 square kilometers of coastal plains, beach ridges, and sandy hills within the Annie River water catchment, which forms the southern boundary of the reserve. Its eastern edge fronts Princess Charlotte Bay, sharing a border with Rinyirru National Park. The park derives its name from the Lama Lama people, the Aboriginal traditional owners whose connection to this landscape extends back thousands of years. What makes Lama Lama particularly significant is its status as Queensland's first national park to be established under joint management agreement between traditional owners and the state government, representing a pioneering model of collaborative protected area stewardship.
