'''Mount Bauple''' is a scientific national park in the [[Fraser Coast Region]], [[Queensland]], [[Australia]], 190&nbsp;km north of [[Brisbane]].<ref>{{Cite QPN|51064|Mount Bauple National Park (Scientific)|Nation park in the Fraser Coast Region|access-date=15 July 2022}}</ref>

The park's main purpose is to protect the area's exceptional scientific values. Mount Bauple shares its name with the bauple or bopple nut, the local name for the nut from the commercial Queensland nut tree [[Macadamia integrifolia]];<ref name="QldParks"/> both the nut and mountain in turn come from Baphal, the [[The Dreaming|Dreaming]] caretaker from the [[Butchulla|Budjilla]] people indigenous to [[Fraser Island]], [[Queensland]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=History of the macadamia|url=https://www.australian-macadamias.org/consumer/our-story/history-of-the-macadamia|url-status=live|access-date=5 September 2021|website=Australian Macadamias|language=en|quote=Way back in THE FIRST TIME [The Dreamtime] when Yindingie our Messenger God was leaving the Mountain, the Budjilla people had to decide who was to look after our Land...so a man called Baphal said he would go...they called the Mountain, Baphal’s Mountain. When our people seen the lizard they called him Baphal’s lizard. When our people seen the nuts they call them Baphal’s nuts.|archive-date=5 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210905010929/https://www.australian-macadamias.org/consumer/our-story/history-of-the-macadamia}}</ref> While the bauple plant is cultivated extensively in Queensland and overseas, its natural distribution is extremely limited, and its status in the wild is listed as vulnerable. The commercial value of the species adds considerably to the importance of protecting the wild population.<ref name="QldParks">{{cite web|title=Mount Bauple National Park (Scientific) - Management Plan|url=http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/managing/plans-strategies/pdf/mp035-mount-bauple-np-sci-mgtplan-ginc-approved-2011.pdf|access-date=30 October 2012|author=Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service|author-link=Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service|year=2011|archive-date=3 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130903000621/http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au/managing/plans-strategies/pdf/mp035-mount-bauple-np-sci-mgtplan-ginc-approved-2011.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
