Information

Holmes Jungle Nature Park protects an isolated pocket of monsoon forest. The dense vegetation provides a habit for large numbers of birds, mammals and reptiles. The park can be accessed any time of the year, but some roads within the park may be closed to vehicles during the wet season.

A separate series of tracks are available to cyclists and horse riders. Walking trails are also provided with access to the hill top picnic area and lookout. From the lookout are panoramic views of the wetlands to the north, monsoon forest to the east and savannah woodland to the south. A path from the lookout provides access to Palm Creek.
