Rugged mountains, wild rivers and lush tropical rainforest make Wooroonooran National Park in the Bellenden Ker Range one of the states most scenic parks. Queensland's highest mountains, Mt Bartle Frere (1622 metres) and Mt Bellenden Ker (1592 metres) are in this park in the Wet Tropics World Heritage area.
