In December 2009 a lightning strike started a bushfire in the Youdales Hut area.

The hut was unaffected, but 1, 500 hectares of inaccessible steep country was burnt out before it was brought under control.

Another lightning strike started a large bushfire in the Reedy Creek region of the park.

This fire has burnt out over 8, 000 hectares of rough country.
