| Welcome to this guide to national parks and other conservation reserves located on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, Australia .
Follow the links to some of our magnificent National Parks:
Reserves managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service in this area protect some of the state's finest coastal scenery.
Including the jagged features of Mimosa Rocks and Ben Boyd National Parks together with Bournda's expansive beach areas, these parks offer a wealth of areas to both enjoy and explore.
Coupled with the remote and rugged mountain country found in Deua and Wadbilliga National Parks, they ensure that visitors to the region can enjoy a wide range of recreational activities in a natural setting.
From Bermagui to the border, the coastal parks enchant you with endless trails, and reminders of many thousands of years of past Aboriginal habitation.
Rainforest gullies and old growth forests teaming rich in wildlife will excite any visitor.
Enjoy a dawn walk through Ben Boyd, Bournda or Mimosa Rocks National Park in the tranquil presence of rainbow lorikeets, and flocks of yellow tailed cockatoos. As kangaroos bound free through forests and parklands, you'll know you have discovered a natural paradise.
Scenery varies from the rugged cliff faces of Red Rock in Ben Boyd National Park where sea eagles soar on a swift wind, to the impressive peak of Mt Imlay providing a picturesque backdrop for Eden. For the more intrepid visitor sweeping views of the coast can be seen from the summit.
The landscapes are vast, with rolling hills, and tall towering eucalypts covering the rugged terrain of the escarpment.
Tantawanglo river and forests offer a spectacular mountain stream, panoramic views on the mountain road and stunning creek crossings will lead you to the picturesque Tantawanglo Creek.
The rainforests of Gulaga (Mt Dromedary)in Gulaga National Park and Mumbulla Mountain in Biamanga National Park hold many significant beliefs for Aboriginal people who continue to keep their rich culture alive. Mumbulla Creek Falls picnic area will help you to learn something about local culture.
Wallaga Lake National Park has endless bird species and the fishing is fabulous.
Nalbaugh section of the South East Forests National Park, 40 km south of Eden offers Twin Peaks and shadowy ravines offering plenty of wild tracks. Undisturbed forests help to protect water supplies and provide homes for rare creatures such as the powerful owl and tiger quoll.
Nadgee Nature Reserve has outstanding scientific, scenic and educational significance. Endangered Eastern bristlebirds, little terns, potoroos, ground parrots, pygmy possums and small colonies of dingo call this special place their home.
