Mount Bauple is a scientific national park in Queensland, Australia, 190 km north of Brisbane.

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;^[1] both the nut and mountain in turn come from Baphal, the Dreamtime caretaker from the Budjilla people indigenous to Fraser Island, Queensland.^[2] 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.^[1]

When our people seen the lizard they called him Baphal’s lizard. When our people seen the nuts they call them Baphal’s nuts.{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: url-status (link)
