Mount Kaputar National Park

Mount Kaputar National Park is a large national park in the Nandewar Range east of Narrabri in northern New South Wales, centred on the extinct Nandewar Volcano. Covering about 50,000 hectares, it protects rugged volcanic plateaus, lava terraces and eucalypt forests rising to 1,510 metres at Mount Kaputar summit. Notable for dramatic lookouts, the organ-pipe formation Sawn Rocks, endemic pink slugs and extensive bushwalking and camping opportunities.

Visitors can expect a remote volcanic mountain landscape with high plateaus, steep escarpments, sub-alpine woodlands and open lookouts. The park offers sealed and unsealed scenic drives to lookouts such as Mount Kaputar summit and Doug Sky Lookout, short walks to Sawn Rocks and Euglah Rock, longer bushwalks, campgrounds at Dawson Spring and Bark Hut, picnic areas and cabins. Facilities are basic and the environment is exposed and often cool and windy at elevation.
