Hasties Swamp National Park
Hasties Swamp is a national park in Queensland, Australia, 1,371 km northwest of Brisbane. The swamp is located several kilometres south of the town of Atherton in Far North Queensland.[1] The main feature of the park is a seasonal wetland. Part of the swamp was first declared a national park on 5 April 1980.[2]
Habitat protected within the park supports up to 300 species of birds.[2] These include the sarus crane, pale-vented bush-hen and buff-banded rail.[1]
A bird hide provides viewing opportunities for visitors, including those using wheelchairs.[3]
The wetland is surrounded by open eucalypt forest.[4] The average elevation of the terrain is 826 metres.[5]
