Location
About 85 km or 90 minutes drive north-west of Brisbane.
What's special
West of the Glass House Mountains, at the southern end of the Conondale Range, this national park is quite rugged with open eucalypt forest, rainforest and cascades along picturesque Stony Creek.
Remnants of Brandon’s sawmill can still be seen on West Bellthorpe Road.
Branch Creek Road offers a reasonably challenging and picturesque four-wheel-drive opportunity and it winds up through the middle of the national park.
