Bunya Mountains National Park, QLD, Australia |
Here a few photos taken at Bunya Mountains NP. It is located near Dalby, QLD, a few hundred km west of Brisbane, and forms one in a series of small ranges on the western edge of the Great Dividing Range.
Here two of the trees that give the NP its name - Bunya Pines - "Araucaria bidwillii"; they are related to the Araucarias of South America - one piece of evidence that the two continents were connected in the past (Gondwana)
Bunya Pine cone (not from a National Park!); it measures about
20x12 cm and is mature

Bunya Mountains NP is not only about Bunya pines; this western slope is dominated by eucalypts and grasstrees

Wallabies are so numerous at Dandabah that one can get the impression that every house has its own private pet animals on the lawn
