Boodjamulla National Park Totally Explained

Everything about Boodjamulla National Park totally explained

Boodjamulla National Park, formerly known as Lawn Hill National Park, is in northwestern Queensland, Australia. The park is 340 km (211 miles) northwest of Mount Isa or 1,837 km (1,141 miles) northwest of Brisbane.
   The park contains several permanent creeks, waterholes, gorges, and sandstone ranges. Lawn Hill Gorge has been carved by Lawn Hill Creek, which flows all year and is fed by numerous freshwater springs from the limestone plateau to the west. The gorge is a rich oasis with cabbage palms and other tropical vegetation. Freshwater crocodiles can be found in the gorge.
   Boodjamulla's ancient sandstones and limestones have been gradually stripped away over millions of years leaving behind rugged escarpments, gorges, and rock outcrops.
   The Aboriginal Waanyi people have lived in the gorge area for at least 17,000 years and know this place as Boodjamulla, or Rainbow Serpent country. Lawn Hill Gorge is sacred to the Waanyi people. Midden heaps, grinding stones, and rock art evidence the importance of this place. Today, the Waanyi people help manage the park.
   The park has a rich pastoral history and until December 1984 was part of Lawn Hill Station, which was once one of Queensland's largest cattle properties.
   The Riversleigh Fossil Fields Section of the park is a World Heritage Site and contains many fossil remains. Animal bones dating back 25 million years are preserved in the lime-rich sediments.
