One of the oldest parks in Australia , in which the territory of almost 52 thousand hectares grows subtropical rain forests, is Yundzhela, founded in 1941. People of the Goreng-Goreng tribe called this place a land in which clouds cling to the tops of the mountain.
What is interesting about the park?
The huge territory of the Eungella National Park is occupied by numerous settlements where the aborigines used to live. In order to be convenient for hiking, Eungella runs 22 kilometers of log flooring.
Having inspected the preserved dwellings of the first settlers, you can go to the valley of the famous Pioneer River to enjoy spectacular views of the seething waters and mountain landscapes. Another pond - the Broken River, became the habitat for platypus, frogs, medroshs and countless hordes of birds. In addition, the park has a lake Broken, in the waters of which you can swim or fish. Fans of the conquest of the mountain peaks can set off on routes that run near the Dalrymple and William Peaks. The height of each mountain is 1259 meters, and from their peaks are magnificent views of the valley of the river Pioneer.
It is difficult to believe, but in 1964 and 2000, the Eungella Park was hit by snowfalls, and this despite the fact that it is located in the subtropics.
How to get there?
You can get to the Eungella National Park by car, driving along the Bruce Hwy and setting the coordinates of 20 ° 51 '41 "S, 148 ° 39' 52" E. The car can easily be rented in the nearby town of McCae or taxi.
The entrance to the Eungella National Park is free. Convenient and visit hours: from 09:00 to 18:00 pm. Because of the large accumulation of blood-sucking insects in the park's territory, being here at a later time is simply unsafe.
