==Landforms== It is the source of the [[Severn River (Queensland)|Severn River]], which is the starting point of the [[Darling River]]. This Severn River is a separate river from the New South Wales [[Severn River (New South Wales)|eponymous river]]. The river has cut a 10 km long gorge through hard [[trap rock]].<ref name="naq">{{cite book |title=Natural Areas of Queensland |last=Shilton |first=Peter |year=2005 |publisher=Goldpress |location=Mount Gravatt, Queensland |isbn=0-9758275-0-2 |pages=202β205 }}</ref> Some of the Severn River's tributaries have carved gorges and contain waterfalls. The area has a complex geological history. Before it was a national park the land was mined for [[molybdenite]], [[arsenic]], [[tungsten]], [[copper]], [[gold]] and [[tin]].<ref name="naq"/> Disused mines are contaminated so access in these locations is restricted. Shellfish fossils can be found on the summit of Mount Donaldson which is 1,038 m above sea level. The trap rock which underlays most of the park contains [[granite]] [[intrusion]]s which has caused some [[Fracture|fracturing]].
