Namadgi National Park

Namadgi National Park is a large protected area covering about 46% of the Australian Capital Territory, southwest of Canberra. Established in 1984, it forms the northern end of the Australian Alps and protects alpine and sub-alpine landscapes, granite mountains, grasslands and forests. It is notable for Aboriginal rock art, diverse wildlife, and extensive bushwalking trails including part of the Australian Alps Walking Track.

Visitors can expect a vast natural landscape of rugged mountains, open valleys, forests and grasslands southwest of Canberra. The park offers marked walking trails ranging from short walks to multi-day hikes, lookouts such as Gibraltar Peak and Booroomba Rocks, Aboriginal rock art at Yankee Hat, campgrounds and picnic areas, and a visitor centre with interpretive displays. Wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies and birdlife is commonly seen.
