The 42,859-hectare (105,910-acre) national park is situated at the western extent of Hebel in the Shire of Balonne and in the east of Jobs Gate in the Paroo Shire, approximately 630 kilometres (390 mi) west of Brisbane.

[1] The park's southern boundary is defined by part of the state border between Queensland and New South Wales.

In some areas water from the Great Artesian Basin naturally rises to the surface, forming muddy pools.

Stone tool scatters and cooking sites within the park are important reminders of the area's Aboriginal heritage.

Bushwalking, birdwatching and other wildlife observing are the park's main recreational activities.
