From abundant waterholes, wetlands and river channels to sand dunes, grass plains, and weathered sandstone ranges, this impressive park is a haven for waterbirds in an arid region.

This 507,000 hectare park is home to many rare and threatened species. Lake Constance and Hunters Gorge are important wetlands and support breeding populations of many resident and migratory birds.

Diamantina National Park was formerly a pastoral holding and became a national park in 1992. It sweeps across highly weathered sandstone ranges in the east, down to the floodplains of the Diamantina River and its tributaries, then across Mitchell grass plains to dune-fields reminiscent of deserts further west.

This is the traditional homelands of the Maiawali and Karuwali people, whose connection to this landscape spans thousands of years.
