About Eurimbula

Park features

Eurimbula National Park features a transition of vegetation and landforms that are unique in Central Queensland.

Look for the marked changes in plant communities from mangrove-fringed estuaries, freshwater paperbark swamps and coastal lowland eucalypt forests with weeping cabbage palms to tall rainforest with elegant hoop pines.

Looking after the park

You can help protect the park and forest so it can be enjoyed now and in the future by observing these guidelines:

• Everything in the park (living or dead) is protected. Do not take or interfere with plants, animals, soil or rocks.
• Ensure campfires are put out properly with water, not sand, before retiring for the night or leaving your camp site.
• Keep your vehicle on the tracks; shortcutting and venturing off the track creates impacts such as erosion and soil compaction.
• Vehicles are not permitted on beaches.
• Use toilets if available or bring a portable toilet. If bush toileting, ensure all faecal matter and toilet paper is properly buried at least 15cm deep and 100m from tracks, camp sites and waterways. Bag and carry out disposable nappies and sanitary products.
• Do not put sanitary products, disposable nappies and cigarette butts in the toilet facilities.
• Take your rubbish home for appropriate disposal. Do not hang rubbish bags from trees or tents. Never bury or leave rubbish in the park.
• When bathing or washing cooking equipment or clothes, always wash at least 100m from streams and lakes. Waterways and the ocean should be kept free of all pollutants including soap, detergents, shampoo, sunscreens and food scraps.
• Do not feed or leave food for animals. Human food can harm wildlife and cause some animals to become aggressive. Store food in lockable boxes.
• Contact the Queensland Government Wildlife Hotline to report: wildlife incidents, marine animal strike, marine stranding or an injured, sick or dead turtle, dolphin or whale.
