About
The park at a glance
Wadbilliga National Park is perfect for self-reliant bushwalkers and campers. Go hiking, camping, birdwatching or mountain biking and explore this wonderful park.
Wadbilliga National Park features remote and rugged wilderness that will leave you feeling like you’ve truly escaped into the great outdoors.
The scenery here has been compared to Kakadu National Park, with steep gorges carved into dramatic ancient granite cliffs contrasting with wide, undulating plateaus from the high escarpment country down to the coastal plain.
Wadbilliga has deliberately been left in a pristine state to form a haven for the many animals and birds that take refuge here, and there is also an incredible range of plant life. Among the endangered animals you may see are the spotted-tailed quoll. Powerful, masked and sooty owls can be heard by night, and by day diamond pythons may be seen sunning themselves on the plentiful rocky outcrops.
This vast, untamed wilderness is popular with well-equipped campers, self-reliant bushwalkers and photographers. Be sure not to miss seeing the striking Tuross Falls and Tuross River Gorge as well, which are truly unforgettable sights.
