The Lockyer Valley Region in Queensland is home to the beautiful Lockyer National Park, a largely undeveloped park featuring remote sandstone gorges surrounded by remnant eucalypt forest. The park is known for its diverse range of plants and animals, including vulnerable and near-threatened species such as the Helidon ironbark, mountain guinea flower, brush-tailed rock-wallaby, and black-breasted button-quail. Visitors to Lockyer National Park can enjoy a variety of popular recreational activities, including remote bushwalking, and 4WD and motorbike touring. The park is accessible by 4WD, and facilities include hiking and trail bike riding, though camping is not permitted. There are four separate sections within the park, with Alice Creek, Redbank Creek, and Fifteen Mile Creek—all tributaries of Lockyer Creek—lying within the park.
The Lockyer Valley Region also boasts more than 60 parks and reserves, offering a diverse range of outdoor experiences to suit various interests. These parks provide opportunities for adventure, discovery, peace, tranquility, recreation, and play.
