Girraween is close enough to the New England Highway to allow for a short detour for a picnic beside Bald Rock Creek. Two well-developed camping grounds make this park ideal for camping in small or large groups. Secluded campsites, hot showers, picnic tables and barbecues make for an enjoyable stay.
Please bring your own firewood and take rubbish with you when you leave. Stop at the park Visitor Information Centre for details of walks and learn more about the park. Walks range from a short 30 minute stroll to Granite Arch to a 6 hour extended hike to Mt Norman. Those not wanting to venture too far during the day can enjoy time pottering around the creek discovering all kinds of plants and animal life and looking at the reflections in glistening rock pools.
Girraween is popular amongst wildlife enthusiasts. All creatures great and small makeGirraween their home, including the rarely seen common wombats and superb lyrebirds.
During the day you are sure to glimpse superb blue wrens, satin bowerbirds and grey kangaroos. Look for Cunningham skinks, bearded dragons, and red-bellied black snakes soaking up the sunrays on exposed rocks. By night, brushtail possums, sugar gliders and tawny frogmouths can be seen by torchlight. You may even catch a glimpse of Girraween’s endangered leaf-tailed gecko (saltuarius wyberba).
