Get aroundThere are numerous walks you can do in the park. They are rather easy. Don't forget to bring enough water with you.

SeePlants and animals of the park. The views on some of the lookouts are amazing.

BuyThere's not a lot to buy here. The only store here is the Bunya Mountains General Store, connected to the Tavern.

EatThere is a tavern here, but if you plan to stay some nights in the region, you better take food with you.

DrinkYou'll find the only drinks in the Bunya's at the Bunya Tavern.

SleepYou can rent a cabin or a house just outside the national park. Some of them are very comfortable, with a terrace when you'll take the breakfast in the company of parrots and a garden full of wallabies.

Stay safeAvoid the giant stinging tree and other stinging nettles. Between December and March, take care for the falling bunya cones. Always remember water and check for ticks.
