By day, rock-wallabies bound across rocky outcrops near Kroombit Creek. At night, micro-bats hunt for insects in the dry rainforest and yellow-bellied gliders scurry through the tree tops while powerful owls hunt for prey.
With some roads suitable for accessible to conventional vehicles and others built for 4X4 excitement, there’s every reason to go exploring in Kroombit Top National Park.
Did you know? Only at Kroombit Tops can you hear the unusual call of the endangered Kroombit tinkerfrog—listen for a series of sharp, metallic ‘tinks’. This elusive frog lives in small patches of rainforest where it is believed to spend much of its time hiding between large rocks.
