Sitting on the QLD/NSW border, Lamington is known for its lush rainforests, mountain views, waterfalls and wildlife. The park is home to several species of threatened birds and was added to the National Heritage list in 2007.
Water Dragons are common in riparian habits across South-East Queensland. Often spotted in inner-city suburbs they have remained resilient through the modification of their natural habitat.
Humpbacks became protected globally in 1965 following a dramatic decline in populations due to whaling. Numbers have slowly begun recovering but we need to protect coastal waters to ensure their future.
Lake McKenzie covers over 150 hectares and sits about 100 metres above sea level. Due to the white silica that makes up its sandy shores the water is so pure it is unsuitable for many species.
As the states peak non-government environment group since 1969 we coordinate within the conservation sector in Queensland to be a voice for the environment. Our mission is to protect, conserve and sustain Queensland’s unique natural environment, making sure that our wildlife, rivers and landscapes continue to thrive for future generations.
