Mt Bauple

Your FREE Guide www.ourfrasercoast.com.au

In a nut shell! Aborigines are believed to have first discovered the Macadamia Nut on Bauple Mountain around 30,000 years ago, and called it the Baphal nut. The Mountain became a sacred place and the tree and nut part of their traditions and food.The first recorded history was 1858 when the nut was discovered by British botanists who named the genus macadamia. The nut is the only indigenous native export from Australia. Wild trees over one hundred years old are believed to still grow on Mount Bauple. A conservation collection of the original trees at Inman Road at Tiaro opposite the Recreation Reserve is under the care of the Fraser Coast Regional Council and aims to protect their genetic diversity.

DID you know? The Mary River is home to platypus and some of Australia’s rarest species including the:

Mary River Turtle - Found only in the Mary River, it is Australia’s second most endangered freshwater turtle. In the 60s and 70s it was sold in pet shops as a “penny turtle” and was only formally described as a new genus and species in 1994.

Australian Lungfish – This ancient fish or “living fossil” is only found naturally in the Mary River and nearby Burnett River systems. This ‘vulnerable’ species can wriggle over ground and can live for more than 100 years. It makes a small bellowing sound when it surfaces every 30 to 60 minutes for a breath.

Mary River Cod – This large cod is one of Australia’s most endangered fish. Natural populations are now only found in the Mary River system.
