About this place

What to expect

Mia Mia State Forest is nestled in the Clarke Range and bounded by Teemburra Creek and the Pioneer River 60 km West of Mackay. Mia Mia State Forest features open eucalypt forest dissected by numerous deep gullies and rocky water courses and is a haven for wildlife. Mia Mia State Forest's clay soil of the forest was once used by locals to make bricks before the hoop pine plantations were established in 1934. The first plantation hoop pines were grown in a 12ha section of land in the north of the forest with the last plantation trees planted in 1991. Remnant pines from the former plantation can be seen along the access road as you travel down Teemburra Creek. 4WD access ONLY
