The endangered giant barred frog Mixophyes iteratus
Conondale National Park is 130 km north of Brisbane in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland near the town of Conondale in the south east Queensland bioregion.[1] The park covers an area of 35,648 hectares protecting large areas of subtropical rainforest, woodlands, wet and dry sclerophyll forest including Queensland's tallest tree.[1][2] The park contains areas of regenerating forest which have been previously logged; areas of forest plantations also border the park. The park is currently managed by the Queensland Government under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.[1]
Since the 1860s the Conondale region has been impacted by land clearing for agriculture, mining and logging,[3] today the park is a refuge for many species now rare and threatened.[1] Threatened species such as the plumed frogmouth, giant barred frog, Conondale crayfish, spotted-tailed quoll, Gympie nut and richmond birdwing butterfly have been recorded in the park and are currently targeted for conservation management to mitigate threats to their survival.[1] Species of interest include the southern gastric brooding frog which mysteriously disappeared in 1981 and is presumed extinct.[4]
