Dularcha is a national park in Queensland, Australia, 78 km north of Brisbane. The park occupies a north east portion of Landsborough. It is bisected by the North Coast railway line. The park covers an area of 4.64 km2 (1.79 sq mi).[1] It lies within the Maroochy River water catchment area of the South East Queensland bioregion.[2]
The park features the heritage-listed Dularcha railway tunnel which was built in 1891.[3] The park was initially declared so as to ensure rail passengers were provided a decent view of Queensland's forest. Use of the tunnel halted in 1932 when the line was moved to the east.[1] The park was extended in 2010 when Mooloolah Forest Reserve was added to the national park.[1]
The park contains a riverine wetland covering 0.4 km2 (0.15 sq mi).[2] A total of nine rare of threatened species have been identified within the park.[2]
Facilities
The only facilities provided are trails.[3] Birdwatching, horse-riding, bush-walking and bike-riding are the main recreational activities in Dularcha. Camping is not permitted within the park. Domestic animals (with the exception of horses), fires, motorbikes and vehicles are banned.[3]
