Wollemi National Park

This is the largest wilderness area in NSW—a spectacular maze of canyons, cliffs and undisturbed forest. Descend to the Colo River on Bob Turners Track and enjoy the beaches in one of the state’s longest and most scenic gorges. There are interesting ruins at Newnes, and a glow-worm-filled railway tunnel can be found nearby. There are easy walks and canoeing at Dunns Swamp.

Car-based and small-caravan camping is available at Dunns Swamp (contact Mudgee office) and Newnes (contact Blackheath office) on the western side of the park, and Wheeney Creek (contact Richmond office) on the eastern side.

Backpack camping is permitted throughout the park. Bookings and permits for camping are not required.
