Mudlo National Park

Popularly known as Mudlo Gap, Mudlo National Park is a vine forest located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. The 22-sq.km park provides excellent views and enjoyable walking trails for sightseeing enthusiasts.

The park is one of the few areas protecting native pine rainforests, the tall pine trees that once covered much of the surrounding coastal ranges.
