Gibraltar Range National Park

Home to remarkable plants and animals that have evolved since the age of dinosaurs, Gibraltar Range is a special place that forms part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. This series of parks and reserves stretches from Barrington Tops to southern Queensland. Strike out on a mountain biking track past huge granite outcroppings that overlook ancient rainforest. Swim in creeks surrounded by remnants of early colonial history. Camp in fragrant woodlands and listen to giant barred frogs during their nightly chorus. Take a morning walk for the waratahs and Christmas bells, or load up your backpack and embark on a rugged multi-day hiking adventure. There are sweeping lookouts and swooping yellow-bellied gliders, a comfortable cottage for hire and plenty of picnic spots to settle down with the family on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Gibraltar Range National Park is a rarity; historic and appealing to a modern audience, a treasure trove for heritage buffs, naturalists, adventure junkies, and people just looking for a quiet place to appreciate the natural wonders of NSW.
