September 21, 2026 Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google+ Public Service Announcement.

Discover Eungella National Park in Queensland’s Mackay Highlands. Explore rainforest walks, spot wild platypus, enjoy scenic lookouts and plan the perfect road trip from Mackay.

Eungella National Park combines spectacular mountain scenery, rainforest walks, wildlife encounters and some of Australia’s best platypus spotting opportunities.

Perched 686m above sea level and about an hour west of Mackay, the mountain township of Eungella offers a refreshing escape from the tropical coast.

Its name is believed to mean “land of the clouds”, a fitting description for a destination renowned for its mist-covered rainforest, cooler temperatures and breathtaking views across the Pioneer Valley.
