Girraween National Park today has nearly all the modern facilities a national park could possibly provide, but this wasn't the case in the early days. Think of a time without a sealed entry into the park, or any phones or electricity.

Present day visitors to Girraween National Park vary with international, interstate, family and "grey nomad" travellers, as well as school, university, bushwalking and rock-climbing groups, scout groups, adventure clubs and of course the NPAQ groups from Brisbane, Gold Coast, Toowoomba and New South Wales.

With over 100,000 visitors a year, careful management of the designated tracks, camping areas and facilities are needed to allow people to experience the wonderful riches of Girraween, while still protecting these same natural and cultural riches that Dr Roberts and others fought so hard to protect.
