About Gundabooka National Park
Gundabooka National Park is a remote outback national park located about 70 kilometres south of Bourke in north-western New South Wales. Covering rugged sandstone ranges, mulga woodlands and ephemeral wetlands, it protects Mount Gunderbooka and the significant Mulgowan (Yapa) Aboriginal rock art site. Notable for its Aboriginal heritage, dramatic gorges, seasonal wildflowers and birdlife, the park offers bushwalking, camping and cultural experiences in a semi-arid landscape.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a remote semi-arid landscape of sandstone hills, rocky gorges, mulga and mallee woodlands and open plains. The park is accessed via unsealed roads and offers marked walking tracks to lookouts and gorges, including the climb to Mount Gunderbooka summit and the boardwalk to the Mulgowan Aboriginal art site. Facilities are basic with two campgrounds, picnic areas and pit toilets. There is no drinking water, fuel or shops, and the environment is quiet and isolated with opportunities for bushwalking, photography, birdwatching and viewing Aboriginal rock art.
