Kirrama National Park is a national park in Minnamoolka, Tablelands Region of Far North Queensland, Australia. The park protects rugged mountain landscapes, lush tropical rainforest and open eucalypt forests.

Contents

It forms part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. The park lies with the water catchment area of the Burdekin River. There are a diverse range of plants and animals found in the area.

Access

Access to the park is provided by the Kennedy Development Road south of Mount Garnet. In 2011, access to the park was restricted when Kirrama Range Road was closed. The historic gravel track and numerous bridges were damaged by floods after Cyclone Yasi crossed the coast.

Facilities

There are no facilities in the park except for the Society Flat rainforest walk which consists of a 720 m long circuit. Camping is not permitted within the park.
