Park features
Rugged mountain ranges, spectacular lookouts and rare wildlife feature in this prestigious World Heritage-listed park. Main Range National Park covers 29,730ha. A mosaic of vegetation types occurs in the park. Rainforests grow in moist or sheltered locations, with open eucalypt forest occurring on the drier ridges and valleys. Montane heath vegetation grows on the cliffs and rocky outcrops.
These diverse habitats shelter much wildlife including the seldom seen Albert's lyrebird, the eastern bristlebird and the black-breasted button-quail. Populations of these birds and other wildlife have been threatened by land clearing and fire. A restricted plant species, the giant spear lily Doryanthes palmeri,also occurs in the park. Careful management is essential for the continued survival of the park's habitats and the wildlife that lives in them.

Tracks from Cunningham's Gap
1. Box Forest track — 5km return (About 1.5 hours walking time) Class 3
Begin this walk at either the Cunningham picnic area or western end of the crest carpark. Passing through rainforest and open forest, the track is named after the brush box trees Lophostemon confertus, which line West Gap Creek. Birdlife is plentiful. Return to your starting point via the Box Forest track or arrange to be picked up at either end of the track. It is not advisable to return via the gravel edge of the busy Cunningham Highway.
2. Rainforest circuit — 1.6km return (30 minutes walking time) Class 2
The circuit commences at the eastern end of the crest carpark. It passes the Allan Cunningham monument, and is the beginning of an extensive track system on the northern side of the Gap. The Fassifern Valley lookout track forms the eastern part of the circuit. Turn left at the base of the stairs to take the easiest way around the circuit.
3. Fassifern Valley lookout — 1.2km return (20 minutes walking time) Class 2
Commencing at the crest carpark, the Fassifern Valley lookout provides a spectacular view over the Moogerah Peaks, Fassifern Valley and Lake Moogerah. The track commences at the eastern end of the crest carpark and forms the eastern part of the Rainforest circuit.
4. Gap Creek Falls track — 9.8km return to the crest carpark (About 6 hours walking time) Class 3
The best time to see the falls is soon after rain, as there is little water over the 100m drop in dry weather. The track, mostly through open eucalypt forests, starts at the crest carpark via the Fassifern Valley lookout. Descend the ridge below Mount Cordeaux to the top of the falls. The return trip is uphill and can be very tiring in hot weather. This track requires a high level of fitness and is not recommended for older or very young people or those in poor health.
5. Palm Grove circuit — 4.4km return (About 2 hours walking time) Class 3 track
Branching from the Rainforest circuit, this walk ends in a 1km circuit featuring a dense grove of piccabeen palms Archontophoenix cunninghamiana in rainforest and open eucalypt forest. A variety of birdlife can be seen. The track is suitable for all ages.
6. Mount Cordeaux track — 6.8km return (About 2.5 hours walking time) Class 3
Mount Cordeaux (1135m) is known to Aboriginal people as Niamboyoo. Branching off the Rainforest Circuit, the track zigzags through rainforest to the exposed upper slopes, ending at a lookout on the southern side. The cliff face of Mount Cordeaux is spectacular in spring and early summer when the giant spear lilies Doryanthes palmeri are in flower. Take care at the cliff edge.
7. Bare Rock track/Morgan's Walk — 12.4km return (About 4.5 hours walking time) Class 3 track
Detouring west of the peak of Mount Cordeaux, the track to Bare Rock (1168m) crosses a rocky saddle north of the peak and re-enters rainforest before ending with a brief scramble to a rocky outcrop. From here there are spectacular views over the northern section of the park. Two varieties of tree fern grow near the track and Albert's lyrebirds can be heard in the winter months.
The 350m Morgan's Walk track leaves the Bare Rock track 680m before Bare Rock and ends in a grove of montane heath.
8. Mount Mitchell track — 10.2km return (About 3 hours walking time) Class 3
A graded walking track to the twin peaks of Mount Mitchell begins on the southern side of the highway. Take care when crossing the highway. Rainforest and open eucalypt forest will be encountered on this track, which ends on a knife-edge ridge above a sheer cliff on the east peak of Mount Mitchell (1168m). This peak is known as Cooyinnirra to the Aboriginal people. Take care at the cliff edge.
Tracks around Spicer's Gap
9. Pioneer Graves track — 260m return (15 minutes walking time) Class 2
Adjacent to the camping area, this picnic area takes its name from a local landmark, the Pioneer Graves. At least 13 people are buried in this small cemetery, a short walk from the picnic area.
10. Moss's Well track — 120m return (10 minutes walking time) Class 2
Moss's Well, in tall open forest, is a haven for many species of birds. The well is believed to take its name from Edward Moss, the first road contractor. This was the only water for travellers and their teams making their way over the range. The well has deteriorated and the water is now unsuitable for drinking.
11. Governor's Chair lookout — 300m return (15 minutes walking time) Class 3
A 150m walking track links the Governor's Chair carpark with the lookout over the Fassifern Valley. Governor's Chair, the large rock on the edge of the cliff face, was so named as it was reportedly a popular resting spot for early governors of Queensland when their journeys took them through Spicer's Gap. Take care at the cliff edge.
12. Heritage trail — 3.2km return (About 1 hour walking time) Class 3
From the Governor's Chair carpark, an interesting self-guiding walk, showing various road construction methods, follows the historic road.
13. Mount Mathieson trail — 3.6km return (About 1 hour walking time) Class 4
This rough marked trail commences opposite the Pioneer picnic area. The walk to Mount Mathieson is the best-defined section of the trail and is relatively easy. Koalas are often seen in this area.

The distance of the circuit (returning via the historic road) is 8.1km and takes three hours.
Queen Mary Falls section
14. Cliff walk — 400m return (20 minutes walking time) Class 2
This walk takes you to the top of Queen Mary Falls, which is part of the headwaters of one of Australia's longest river systems, the Murray-Darling. Great care should be taken when viewing the gorge below. Supervise children closely.
15. Queen Mary Falls circuit — 2km return (40 minutes walking time) Class 3
A leisurely stroll along the walking track reveals changes in vegetation from the eucalypt-covered ridge top to the rainforest gorge. From the Queen Mary Falls lookout, watch Spring Creek plunge over the 40m Queen Mary Falls to continue its twisting journey down the valley floor to join the Condamine River's upper reaches. Continue on the track to view the falls from creek level. On a summer's day, take time to pause for a moment to feel the waterfall's cool spray. Take care on the causeway as the surface can become slippery when wet. Do not attempt to cross when in flood or if water covers the causeway.
WARNING: Sheer cliffs and waterfall. One slip could be fatal — serious injury or death may result from walking near the edge or swimming in the creek above the waterfall. Keep to the track — supervise children closely.

Remote bushwalking
Main Range National Park offers some of the most spectacular remote area bushwalking opportunities in southern Queensland. However, the extremely rugged mountain terrain can be hazardous for inexperienced or poorly prepared walkers. A high level of physical fitness, navigational skills and cliff scrambling skills are essential.
Walkers should familiarise themselves with the area before attempting an extended walk. Contact the Main Range National Park office for assistance with route advice and other detailed information. Established bushwalking clubs with experienced off-track walkers regularly organize trips to Main Range National Park. Guidebooks covering most walks are available from specialist camping stores and some bookshops.
Remote area walking is only advised in the cooler weather, usually April to September. Walking during summer can be very hazardous due to high temperatures and lack of surface water.
All remote area walkers are expected to follow minimal impact bushwalking and bush camping practices, such as observing proper sanitation and hygiene methods and avoiding polluting water in any way.
Mount Roberts section
Located at the park's southern boundaries, this section of the park is undeveloped and access is limited. Mount Superbus is the highest mountain peak in south-east Queensland, rising 1375m. There are several unmarked bushwalking trails and limited bush campsites.
Mount Mistake section
Mount Mistake section (5560ha) is the northern portion of the park. Until the 1960s, some logging took place in the open forests and rainforests. While there is no vehicular access to the park, there are several unmarked bushwalking trails and limited bush campsites.
Picnic and day-use areas
Cunningham's Gap section
Picnic areas are located at both Cunningham's Gap and Spicer's Gap. Please supply your own firewood for barbecues at Cunningham’s Gap or use a fuel stove. Limited firewood is supplied at the Spicer’s Gap picnic area. Firewood must not be collected from the park or roadside - fines apply. No bins are provided; visitors are asked to take their rubbish with them.
Queen Mary Falls section
Tables, barbecues, toilets and water are provided in a spacious picnic ground set amongst eucalypt forest. Boil or chemically treat all tap water before drinking.

Staying safe
To enjoy a safe visit to this area, please:
- Be prepared, even on short walks, and judge your ability and conditions carefully before setting out. Do not expect to be warned of every possible danger.
- Choose walks that suit the capabilities of your entire group.
- Stay together and keep to designated walking tracks. Always supervise children. Lookouts are a major feature of many of the walks. Many are part of a natural feature, often located on a cliff edge or ridge. But edges can be deceptive and are often closer than you think. Be aware; not all lookouts have handrails. Please keep away from the edge and supervise children at all times. Take extra care when using binoculars or cameras at these sites!
- Wear a hat, sunscreen, comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes with good grip.
- Take a basic first-aid kit.

To enjoy your remote bushwalking and camping experience, please:
- Familiarise yourself with the area by doing shorter walks before attempting an extended walk. Guidebooks covering most walks are available from bushwalking equipment stores and some bookshops.
- Prepare yourself before you leave. Even accomplished bushwalkers can experience difficulties. Every year some walkers become lost, injured or overdue. Search and rescue operations are costly, endanger searchers' lives and can damage the environment. Minimise your risk. Remember that your safety is your responsibility.
- Leave a copy of your bushwalking plans with a friend, relative or other reliable person. This person has responsibility for contacting police if you are overdue. Your plan should include:
- your name, address, number of people in your party, ages and any medical conditions;
- vehicle registration, make, model, colour and parking location;
- the route you are taking, expected times of departure and return.
- Walk with a recognised bushwalking club. This is a good way to gain experience.
- Walk with one or more friends. At least one member of each party should be a competent map-reader and bushwalker.
- Learn map and compass skills. Recommended maps for bushwalking are 1:25,000 topographic maps. It is also advisable to carry a recognised bushwalking guidebook for the area.
- Carry sufficient food, water and protective clothing. Rapid changes in temperature and weather are common.
- Leave plenty of time to reach your destination.
- A first-aid kit and torch should be carried. Learn first-aid procedures.
- It is advisable to boil creek water before drinking.
- Take care near cliff edges.
To sum up — be prepared and use sound judgement.
Thefts have occurred in this area. Car crime is a problem even here. Help us to STOP this problem.
- Lock your car
- Remove your keys
- Remove all valuables — this includes garage remotes.
In an emergency
In case of accident or other emergency please:
- call 000 or
- if you have difficulty connecting to 000 from your mobile phone, try 112
