Currawinya National Park is in southwestern Outback Queensland.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
The old Caiwarro station is not well preserved. All that is left there is rubble and a few chimneys. The station is adjacent to the Paroo River waterhole.
These are large granite outcrops quite nice to look at or to climb over. The road out to the granites is well graded, but the last 2 km or so to the picnic area is sand formed, and may be tricky to traverse in a 2wd vehicle.
Lake Numulla is accessible by 4wd road. Turn off towards the Granites off Hungerford Road, and then turn almost immediate left. The road is not steep or difficult, but it is sand formed in places. The lakes have walks, picnic tables, and aquatic activities are permitted on Lake Numulla. Quite striking to see such large lakes in such dry country.
The Bilby fence is a 25km x 25km fence set up by the Save the Bilby fund. You can visit the group at the National Parks Centre in Charleville. You are requested not to go to the actual fence and the location is not signposted in the park. You can see a sample of the fence and some explanatory panels at the Woolshed.
The Woolshed is a real shearing shed, fantastically preserved. You can explore the whole place, and hear the echos of the mechanical shears.
There are bushwalks at the lakes and elsewhere
At Lake Numulla (4wd only) or in the Paroo River at Caiwarro.
Entry points to the park are on the Hungerford Road, at Hungerford in the south, and at Eulo in the north. The road is unsealed. There is no public transport available within the park, or near to the park.
Read in the guideYou must have a car to see the park. A 4wd is recommended, and is required to get to Lake Numulla and the Granites because of formed sand roads. There is no fuel available within the park. Eulo is the closest.
