Ravensbourne National Park is located in the Ravensbourne and Buaraba in South East Queensland, Australia, 33 km west of Esk. This small scenic park sits on the Great Dividing Range within the Lockyer Creek water catchment area and overlooks the Lockyer Valley. Small remnants of the rainforest and wet eucalypt forest that once covered this part of the Great Dividing Range are preserved within the park.^[1] The park's red soils in the west and south-west support rainforest that includes eucalypt species, as well as palms, vines, and ferns. Sandy soils in the park's eastern section support open eucalypt forest. The park is situated within the catchment areas of the Brisbane River and Lockyer Creek.^[2]
