Burra
Range

The Burra Range is a white sandstone formation which rises between Pentland and Torrens
Creek, some 270 kms south-west of Townsville, on the Flinders Highway. The National Park which straddles the
highway derives its name from the pure white colouring of the sandstone, and encloses over 100,000
hectares
Botanically, the Burra Range is one of
the most diverse areas of inland Queensland, and during the winter months the park is transformed by a magnificent
display of native flowers
SGAP Townsville have had a long association
with the area having organised trips since the 1970's, when the area was first being described by Botanists from
JCU
