Best trails in Venman Bushland National Park
Venman Bushland National Park is a small area located in the South East corner of Queensland on Biripi land. It was formerly used for logging before the former owner Jack Venman constructed walking tracks, barbecues, wooden chairs and tables then opened it to the public. As the name suggests, the park's landscape consists mainly of bushland and eucalypt forests that provide shelter to a large number of koalas, ringtail possums, brushtail possums, sugar gliders, greater gliders, swamp and red-necked wallabies, powerful owls plus many other birds. Its creek, tributaries are home to frogs, water rats and eastern water dragons.
