wadbilliga national park

Wadbilliga National Park features remote and rugged wilderness that will leave you feeling like you’ve truly escaped into the great outdoors. In the Brogo wilderness, Wadbilliga National Park embraces one of the largest undisturbed river catchments in NSW, providing protection for the Tuross, Wadbilliga and Brogo Rivers. A four wheel drivers paradise, there is also camping and kayaking opportunities.

The park is a perfect area for long bushwalks and overnight camping. At the Cascades there is a walking track leading from the camping area to a viewing platform overlooking Tuross Falls and Cascades. In the Brogo Wilderness Area there are no formal paths and access relies on the walker using topographic maps and compass to determine the best routes, there are no constructed paths.

Due to the rugged and relatively isolated nature of the park, animal populations here have remained relatively undisturbed. Swamp wallabies, eastern grey kangaroos, wombats, possums, platypus and echidnas are evident and in places like Wadbilliga Valley are particularly common. There is a diversity of birdlife with 122 native bird species having been sighted here. The park also contains fine examples of open forest and woodland, heath, swamp, bogs and numerous rainforest pockets.
