Bunyaville Conservation Park

On Brisbane's north-western outskirts, Bunyaville Conservation Park is a peaceful retreat and wildlife haven close to the busy metropolitan area. Spotted gum, grey ironbark, narrow-leaved ironbark, white mahogany, tallowwood, forest red gum, grey gum and brush box grow in the open forests. The forest protects a small community of the broad-leaved spotted gum Corymbia henryi, found only in the Brisbane region.
