Minerva Hills National Park
A relatively small National Park near Springsure in Central Queensland, Minerva Hills is dominated by Mount Boorambool, rising 600 metres above sea level, and the larger cliff fringed Mount Zamia (560 metres), which offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
Named after the Minerva Hills Volcanics, these mountains are some of the oldest in a line of volcanoes across the eastern Australian continent - dating back some 20 million years.
The rich variety of plants provide habitat for much wildlife. Look for Eastern Grey Kangaroo's, wallaroos and several different wallabies throughout the park. Spotlighting at night may reward with a sighting of the elusive Sugar-glider or the larger Greater-glider. The park is also home to the locally rare fawn-footed Melomy and the little known Pebble-mound Mouse.
Fred Gorge picnic area has wood barbecues, toilets, limited drinking water and shelter sheds. Picnic tables are provided at the Springsure and Eclipse lookouts.
Camping is not permitted.
