Eungella National Park is one of Queensland's most ecologically diverse parks. Only 95km from Eimeo, Eungella National Park sits high above the surrounding plains. The park has 860 plant species and plenty of wildlife including the shy platypus. There is plenty to do a Eungulla National Park including camping, walking trails, mountain biking, wildlife spotting and watching, plenty of picnic areas and public amenities. Spotting a platypus in the wild may be a once in a lifetime opportunity. The platypus is a small amphibious Australian mammal that has features alike to a duck (bill and webbed feet), a beaver (tail) and an otter (body and fur). Platypus typically feed a dawn and dusk (we were lucky enough to see a few platypus at 10:30am frolicking around and diving for food.... it was a wonderful site to experience). Broken River offers wheel chair accessible amenities and access to a viewing platform to see the platypus and other wildlife. There is also a cafe at Broken River, operating hours 10:00am - 2:00pm. Check the Eungella website out for more information. Visiting Eungella National Park is definitely worth the drive.

Just over one hour's drive West of Mackay approximately 800m above sea level, you will find Eungella, which means "a land in the clouds". Situated amongst a series of mountains with spectacular views, Eungella is known for its bushwalks and platypus sightings.

Tropical forest trails from Eungella to Broken River. Amazing views down the valley , plenty of birdlife on the trail then view the platypus at Broken river or take a swim.

Beautiful untouched wilderness. Visit Broken River in the late afternoon to see the Platypus at sunset.
