Currawinya National Park
Red sandplains and mulga scrubs beside long, dusty roads give little hint to the lakes, rivers and wetlands that make Currawinya one of Australia’s most important inland waterbird habitats.

Season and permits in Queensland
Queensland declares local fire bans by council area instead of Total Fire Bans, and they cover parks and forests. Check park alerts and Bureau of Meteorology warnings before each leg.
Every camp in a Queensland national park, state forest or recreation area needs a permit booked and paid before you arrive, up to 12 months ahead. Driving on K'gari, Bribie Island, Mulgumpin, Minjerribah or at Cooloola also needs a vehicle access permit.
