Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park is one of Queensland's most scenic national parks. Situated within the remote northwest highlands of Queensland, the park features spectacular gorge scenery, diverse wildlife, sandstone ranges, and World Heritage fossils deposits dating back 25 million years. Lawn Hill Gorge carves its way through the dry savannah landscape, creating an oasis in the outback. The gorge's vivid orange sandstone cliffs tower above the emerald lime-rich waters and lush vegetation of Lawn Hill Gorge form a beautiful oasis in the outback, attracting abundant wildlife, and offering exceptional views.
Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park lies on the ancient sandstone of the Constance Range, between the Barkly Tablelands to the southwest and the black soils of the Gulf Savanna Plains to the east. Lawn Hill Creek and the Gregory and O'Shanassy rivers flow all year round, providing a stark contrast to the dry, parched landscape during the dry season.
Lawn Hill Gorge is formed by Lawn Hill Creek, which is fed by numerous freshwater springs from the limestone plateau to the west. The magnitude of the sandstone cliffs lining the gorge, its emerald waters and lush vegetation make it a visual splendour. Serving as an oasis, the spring water and surrounding vegetation attract an abundance of wildlife. The Waanyi Aboriginal people have strong cultural ties with the park while pastoralists of European descent have more recent historical connections.
