    Park Fire Ban - Hawkesbury-Nattai Reserves

    A park fire ban is in place in this park and remains in effect unless otherwise extended or removed. During park fire ban periods, all campfire and solid fuel (wood, heat beads, charcoal, briquettes, hexamine) barbecues and stoves are prohibited. Gas and electric barbecues and cookers are permitted as long as:

    • They're under direct control of an adult
    • The ground within 2m of the barbecue is cleared of all flammable materials
    • There's an adequate supply of water (minimum of a bucket)

    However, the following campgrounds are exempt in the following reserves:

    • Yellomundee Regional Park

      • Shaws Creek Aboriginal Place

    If a Total Fire Ban is in place, different rules apply. Contact the local park office before bringing a gas or electric barbecue or cooker.
    Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information about fire bans in parks and reserves including your responsibilities, visit the NSW National Parks fire safety page.

About

Nattai Gorge Lookout is located at the end of the Box Vale Walking Track, Mittagong. This very popular track follows the route of a historic railway line from Welby to the Nattai escarpment. There are no hills to climb and the walk is interesting, through cuttings and a railway tunnel 90 metres long.

The lookout boasts stunning views of the Nattai Gorge and you can see in the direction of the Blue Mountains, on a clear day.

Box Vale Walking Track maps are available from the Southern Highlands Visitor Information Centre.
