About Culgoa National Park
Culgoa National Park is a remote outback national park in north-western New South Wales, near Weilmoringle in Brewarrina Shire, on the Queensland border. Covering about 22,430 hectares on the Culgoa River floodplain, it protects extensive coolibah woodlands, river red gums, floodplains and claypans. Notable for its birdlife, wildflowers after rain, and Aboriginal cultural heritage, it offers a quiet outback experience.
Visitors guide

Facilities are basic and centred on campgrounds and walking tracks. Visitors can explore short walking tracks, bird hides, river lookouts and cultural sites, camp under dark skies, and experience solitude with limited signage and no powered facilities.
