Editing Kalkajaka National Park (section)

==Ecology==
The park's mountains are located at the northernmost end of the [[Wet Tropics of Queensland|Wet Tropics World Heritage Area]], where world heritage listed wet tropical forests meet drier [[savanna]] woodlands - making it a natural [[Refugium (population biology)|refuge]] for once more widespread, now isolated [[Relict (biology)|relict]] fauna.

Queensland's Department of Environment and Resource Management advises, for instance, the relatively small, unusual "Black Mountain" environment is the world's only habitat for at least three animals: the Black Mountain boulderfrog or rock haunting frog (''[[Cophixalus saxatilis]]''); the Black Mountain skink (''[[Carlia scirtetis]]''); and the Black Mountain gecko (''[[Nactus galgajuga]]''). This makes the area one of Australia's most restricted habitats for endemic fauna.<ref name="nch">{{cite web |url=https://parks.desi.qld.gov.au/parks/kalkajaka/about/culture |title=Black Mountain (Kalkajaka) National Park: Nature, culture and history |date=1 October 2021 |website=Queensland Government: Parks and forests}}</ref>
