D'Aguilar National Park is a national park in Queensland, Australia. It contains the D'Aguilar Range and is located along the northwest of the Brisbane metropolitan area. The park is traversed by the winding scenic Mount Nebo Road and Mount Glorious Road.
The park contains eucalyptus woodlands, sheltered pockets of sub-tropical rainforest, a number of crevasses and views of Moreton Bay and the Glass House Mountains.[2] The Walkabout Creek Visitor Centre is located at the edge of the park. There are two formal, vehicle accessible camping areas in the Mount Mee section and eight remote bush camping sites (accessible only by walking) in the southern D'Aguilar (formerly Brisbane Forest Park) section.[3] Popular lookouts include Jolly's Lookout, Westridge Outlook, Camp Mountain Lookout and Wivenhoe Lookout, overlooking Lake Wivenhoe. The villages of Mount Nebo and Mount Glorious are located on Mount Nebo Road on the edges of the national park and are popular stops for tourists driving through the park.
The southern part of the park was formerly known as Brisbane Forest Park, while the northern part of the park is at Mount Mee.
