Diamantina National Park

Diamantina National Park derives its name from the Diamantina River that runs through it, which in turn is named after Diamantina Bower, wife of the first Governor of the state of Queensland. Since its opening in 1993, the park has been recognized as a premier reserve by the World Wildlife Fund and awarded for its endeavors to protect the endangered bilby, a small marsupial. Also found in the park is one of the country's rarest threatened species, the night parrot, which has been discovered in only a few locations worldwide.
