Warrumbungle National Park 
|
|
21,000ha.
Warrumbungle National Park lies in the zone of transition between the arid areas to the west and the rainy east.
John Oxley discovered the Warrumbungles in 1818 on his second journey of exploration. In 1853 an area of 3759ha was declared a nature reserve, and in 1967 the present National Park was established. The spectacular rock buttresses and domes in the park are the result of volcanic activity. On the summits of the hills are snow gums, and in the valleys are deep gorges with springs. Along the walking trails are a number of viewpoints, with particularly impressive views at sunrise and sunset. Rich fauna; beautiful spring blossom.
