Good Night Scrub National Park

Australia Queensland Gin Gin

A small national park in the hills inland from Bundaberg, protecting one of the largest remaining patches of dry vine scrub (dry rainforest) in Queensland, with hoop pines, bottle trees and rare plants above the Burnett River gorge. The Kalliwa Hut day-use area has picnic tables and short walks with views over the river.


Camping is no longer allowed in the park itself. The nearest campgrounds are at Mingo Crossing and Paradise Dam on the Burnett River, run by the North Burnett Regional Council, with river fishing and boating. Access is by unsealed road and some tracks are closed at times, so check the park alerts before you go.
