The second national park in Queensland established in 1908, best known for the 10-kilogram bunya pine, hence its name. The park is reasonably remote and hard to get to, but has been nominated for world-heritage as an extension to the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia world-heritage site.

This park is about 30-45 minutes north along the New England Highway (A3 / State Route 85) that is known for its impressive dry waterfall and its cliffs that look very much like diamonds. The park also protects a good range of koalas, and if you look carefully enough, you may be able to spot one.

The prime botanic garden of Toowoomba, and is also one of the oldest in Queensland, having gazetted in 1869. The garden is not very large by all means, but the 300-meter walk is a pretty impressive sight.

The University of Southern Queensland's Japanese Garden featuring a Japanese lake, a waterfall and several style Japanese bridges, with a strong emphasis on the water elements of the garden.
