The Minister said Castle Rock camping area now has sites suitable for all users, including specifically dedicated sites for larger groups and persons with disabilities, who now have easy access to suitable facilities.

“The new Terrawambella camping area has grassed, open areas suitable for large, organised groups and larger camping structures,” she said. “People will love the Kambuwal camping area which is nestled among trees and granite rocks, and has more intimate sites suitable for small trailers and various sized tents.”

Girraween National Park is internationally renowned for its magnificent granite landscape, spring wildflower displays and its changing seasons.

“Girraween is one of Queensland’s popular national parks, with more than 120,000 people visiting each year,” Minister Scanlon said. “It plays a big role in the $2.4 billion economic injection our national parks provide, and it’s why we’ve committed $262.5 million to expand and acquire new national parks across the state.”

The authorities say that about 80% of visitors to Girraween walk up to the top of a massive granite dome known known as The Pyramid.

“With the latest improvements to The Pyramid walking track, many visitors to Girraween will enjoy climbing to the top to take in the breathtaking views of the park,” Minister Scanlon said.

As part of the work building a better Girraween, a concept plan for the development of a new Girraween Visitor Centre and Precinct has also been completed, as has the installation of additional water supply infrastructure and waste treatment system.
