On the Queensland-NSW border, 260km south-west of Brisbane, halfway between Stanthorpe and Tenterfield. Massive granite boulders that tower above forests and heaths, spectacular wildflower displays in spring and an exceptionally wide variety of wildlife can be found in Girraween National Park. Girraween National Park is a park of massive granite outcrops, balancing boulders and clear tumbling cascades. Golden wattles, yellow, red and purple pea flowers, dainty orchids and flannel flowers grow amid forests of red-gum, stringybark and blackbutt. Frogs, lizards and snakes rustle among the leaf litter. Brilliant turquoise parrots, yellow-tufted honeyeaters and superb blue wrens splash the granite-strewn countryside with colour, while red-necked wallabies, brush-tailed possums and spiny echidnas weave their way through the wonders of the woodland.
