Information
Featuring spectacular limestone caves, small galleries of Aboriginal rock art, jagged limestone outcrops and an historically significant mining site, this park is rich in natural and cultural heritage.
Visitors can explore Donna, Trezkinn and Royal Arch caves on ranger-guided cave tours, which run daily except Christmas Day. Tickets must be purchased in advance from Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service staff based at The Hub in the Chillagoe township.
Limestone has been weathered, dissolved and re-formed by water to create spectacular caverns and passages, decorated by secondary deposits, including stalactites, stalagmites and flowstones.
Camping is not permitted in Chillagoe-Mungana Caves National Park. Chillagoe-Mungana Caves National Park offers walking opportunities ranging from 440m to 9km. Picnic tables are provided at Donna Cave, Royal Arch Cave and Balancing Rock car parks, and at the Mungana Aboriginal art site.
