Mimosa Culture Track

Rising abruptly above the surrounding dry plains, Blackdown Tableland protects spectacular sandstone scenery at the north-eastern edge of the Central Queensland sandstone belt.

This elevated sandstone plateau (900 metres above sea level) is much cooler and moister than the surrounding area creating an isolated habitat that supports a number of endemic animal and plant species. The park has vertical sandstone cliffs rising 60-350 metres above the flat scrub below and deep gorges filled with cabbage palms and tree ferns.

This self-guiding walk uses interpretive signage offering insights into the Aboriginal and European history of the park. It begins with an easy walk through the old cattle yards, and then continues near Mimosa Creek, going upstream to an Aboriginal art site. Plants used by Aboriginal people for food and shelter can be seen along the way.
