Forty Mile Scrub is a national park in Queensland (Australia), 224 km drive southwest of Cairns.

Ancient volcanic streams, grass forests, springs, streams, and a preserved isolated pocket of semi-evergreen vines are just some of the contents of this beautiful national park.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2009-10-19 |title=Forty Mile Scrub National Park |url=https://parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks/forty-mile-scrub |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=Parks and forests {{!}} Department of Environment and Science, Queensland |language=en-AU}}
