Mount Donaldson

Mount Donaldson, standing at 1,038 meters, is the highest peak in Queensland's Sundown National Park. The park is renowned for its rugged terrain, featuring steep gorges, sharp ridges, and peaks exceeding 1,000 meters. The Severn River, originating within the park, has carved a 10 km gorge through hard trap rock, creating a dramatic landscape. The area is rich in biodiversity, hosting over 150 bird species, including the northernmost population of superb lyrebirds, and is home to the most northerly population of wombats. Visitors can explore various walking tracks, including the challenging Mount Donaldson Circuit, which offers breathtaking views and a true wilderness experience. Camping is available at the Broadwater campground, providing a base for adventurers seeking to immerse themselves in the park's natural beauty.
