location

It is located in the South West region about 750 kilometers west of Brisbane and 90 kilometers south of Cunnamulla .

Flora and fauna

The park protects the mulga shrub , which is widespread in the arid areas of Australia , but which has been largely cleared in southwest Queensland for sheep and cattle breeding. The park is home to 25 different bird species, including yellow- fronted chatterbox ( Manorina flavigula ), brown-throated honeyeater ( Acanthagenys rufogularis ) and blue-eared honeyeater ( Entomyzon cyanotis ), as well as the endangered Inca cockatoo ( Lophochroa leadbeateri ).
