Great Basalt Wall is a national park in Queensland, Australia, 1124 km northwest of Brisbane. This national park protects 35,200 ha of land containing the Great Basalt Wall, a geological formation of the Toomba basalt flow. Due to the vicious nature of the rocky lava flows the park is not accessible to the public.
