Quick Summary
The Bunya Mountains are a mountain range in southeastern Queensland, Australia. They are notable for Mount Kiangarow, which reaches 3,727 feet (1,136 meters). These mountains were historically significant for Aboriginal peoples, serving as a source of bunya pine nuts. The bunya pine tree (Araucaria bidwillii) is a large conifer native to this region. The tree's large seeds were traditionally roasted and eaten by Australian Aboriginal peoples. Today, the Bunya Mountains are part of a national park.12
