Daarba National Park

Daarrba National Park is managed to conserve the endangered and of concern regional ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on maintaining the integrity of its vine forests.

Originally part of Starcke Pastoral Holding, 220ha of Daarrba National Park was gazetted as Mount Webb National Park in 1973. In 1995, the park was extended to better protect its semi-deciduous vine forests from clearing. In 2013 the park was extended and renamed Daarrba National Park.

Located within the Jeannie River catchment, the Morgan River forms part of the park’s southern boundary. Seven regional ecosystems are mapped within Daarrba National Park, including one ‘endangered’ community. Most of the park (approximately 80 per cent) is covered by closed vine forest. Daarrba National Park is currently known to protect two species of state conservation significance —Malay apple Syzygium malaccense and the skink, Lygisaurus tanneri.
