Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Main Range National Park adventure.
Mountain peaks, dense rainforest, and spectacular wildlife draw explorers to Main Range.
Swathes of World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforest blanket the peaks of the Great Dividing Range in Main Range National Park. There are four sections of the park to explore—Cunninghams Gap, Spicers Gap, Queen Mary Falls, and Goomburra—along with a network of hiking trails. Climb up to mountain lookouts, trek to waterfalls, picnic amid the rainforest, or tackle the 110-kilometre Scenic Rim hike. Look out for wildlife and rare birds, including eastern bristle birds and the Coxen's fig-parrot along the way. Adventurous hikers will find it easy to venture off the beaten track, and remote bush camps offer a back-to-nature experience for self-sufficient campers.
The weather is notoriously changeable at Main Range, so come prepared whenever you visit. Summer (December through February) temperatures can reach up to 35°C, but nights are still cool enough to need warm clothes. Pack a raincoat if visiting between November and March too—thunderstorms are common at the end of a sunny day.
