Girraween National Park is located on the Queensland-New South Wales border and is one of many national parks in the Granite Belt area.
The word ‘Girraween’ itself means ‘place of flowers’ and it’s easy to see why as the place comes alive with spectacular wildflower displays.
What to do at Girraween
Visiting Girraween National Park in spring is a must-do activity to see the flowers. You can have a wander around yourself on one of the many hiking tracks or join the local Stanthorpe Rare Wildflower Consortium for a free wildflower walk. They often host walking events in Girraween or other areas within the Granite Belt.
We also recommend visiting in late summer or early autumn, as the cooler temperatures make for a pleasant hike!
If you’re looking for a quick half-a-day trip, then we’d recommend the Granite Arch track and Bald Rock Creek circuit. You get beautiful views of a natural granite archway and rock pools as you step over stones along the creek!
For more experienced hikers, The Pyramid hike is 3.6km long and takes you to the summit of a massive granite dome overlooking the whole park. You may choose to camp overnight at the park to get an early start on the trek. Visit the official Girraween National Park website for more information on the hiking trails and camping.
