About Cunnawarra National Park

Cunnawarra National Park
 

Cunnawarra National Park, located in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, covers an expanse characterized by breathtaking escarpments, lush rainforests, and gushing creeks. This park plays a critical role in the conservation of the region's biodiversity, hosting a range of ecosystems from sub-tropical and warm temperate rainforests to eucalyptus forests. Visiting Cunnawarra offers an opportunity to explore the habitat of diverse wildlife, including the endangered Hastings River Mouse and a variety of bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers. The park is famed for its scenic walking tracks, like the 'Tea Tree Falls Walk,' which guides visitors through awe-inspiring natural beauty with views of cascading waterfalls. Established in 1987, Cunnawarra has since become a popular destination for hiking, camping, and picnicking. History enthusiasts can explore the remnants of old forestry activities and gain insight into the region's timber heritage. Despite its remote location, Cunnawarra National Park remains an appealing destination for those seeking outdoor recreation and the solitude of New South Wales' wild landscapes.
