Black Mountain National Park 

Black Mountain National Park is just south of Cooktown.

It is impossible to miss this mountain just next to the highway.

It is a strange looking one with no vegetation on it, and more than a usual mountain it really looks like a big heap of 
large, black granite boulders, (similar to those in Cape Melville).


There is no walks, no camping and no access to Black Mountain National Park - the only place where you can enjoy it is from the lookout point next to the highway.

There is also some information to read at the lookout point - about the species endemic to the park as well as its geology, Aboriginal history and stories about people gone missing here.
