Everything about Girringun National Park totally explained
Girrungun National Park is a
National Park in
Queensland (
Australia), approximately 50
km southwest of
Ingham, 110 km north of
Townsville and 1290 km northwest of
Brisbane. The park was formerly named
Lumholtz National Park when it was created in 1994. The
Blencoe Falls Section was gazetted as part of Lumholtz National Park in 2000. Its name was subsequently changed to Girrungun in 2003.
The park is one of the
Wet Tropics World Heritage Area series of national parks, and is a gazetted

Geography
This large, 1,240 square kilometre
National Park consists mainly of
wet sclerophyll forests, but small pockets of rainforest also exists along the eastern slopes and hilltops. The Seaview, George and Cardwell ranges dominate the landscape, which is strewn with
granite debris from a volcanic eruption 100,000 years ago. Perhaps the most well known geological feature in this park is the
Wallaman Falls. At 268 metres, it's the largest single-drop falls in
Australia.
Access and infrastructure
Vehicle access into the forest include the Dalrymple Gap Track, or the
Wallaman Falls track. However for most of the park there's only very rudimentary or absent vehicle access. Most of the park is accessible for hikers, but due to its remoteness and rugged terrain only experienced bushwalkers should undertake extensive hikes.
