Template:Use Australian English Template:Infobox protected area Forty Mile Scrub is a national park in Queensland, Australia.[1] It is a 224 km drive southwest of Cairns.

Ancient volcanic streams, grass forests, springs, streams, and a preserved isolated pocket of semi-evergreen vines are just some of the contents of this beautiful national park.[2]

Many species of animals have found refuge here, some permanently, and some come occasionally, like koalas. This is home to the largest cockroach in the world.[3]
