Mooloolah River is a national park in Queensland, Australia, 84 km north of Brisbane. It contains important wallum heathland.
Mooloolah River National Park is mostly made up of two different zones, these include alluvial flats and low undulation flats (mostly found in floodplains) along a section of the lower Mooloolah River. A small population of the endangered Emu Mountain Sheoak is located in the park.[1]
The national park has no facilities including walking tracks. A management plan for the park was published in November 1999.[2]
It is bisected by the Sunshine Motorway.
