Eubenangee Swamp National Park

 park, swamp, nature conservation park / area

Eubenangee Swamp National Park is one of the most important wetland areas between Ingham and Cooktown. It contains a number of rare plant species and plays a crucial role in the conservation of the region's wildlife, in particular birds, butterflies, turtles and crocodiles. Visitors can explore the wetlands via a 1km walking track that travels along the edge of the Alice River before rising to the top of a solitary grassy hill.

The park also protects some of the last remnants of various lowland vegetation types. Much of it is swampland, supporting paperbarks, waterbirds and crocodiles. The rest is rainforest and grassland. Melaleucas and sedges feature around the swamp and rare plants grow in the park. The different vegetation types attract many birds. Explore the wetlands along a one and a half kilometre walking track. The track initially follows the Alice River, through a forest planted by QPWS as part of a revegetation program using seeds from the site.
