Oxley Wild Rivers National Park

Oxley Wild Rivers National Park is a large protected area in northern New South Wales, east of Walcha and Armidale on the Great Dividing Range. Part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, it protects extensive gorges, wild rivers including the Apsley and Macleay, and dramatic waterfalls such as Apsley and Wollomombi Falls. Notable for rugged wilderness, rainforest, lookouts, camping and extensive walking tracks.

Visitors can expect a vast wilderness of deep gorges, wild rivers and high escarpments on the eastern fall of the Great Dividing Range. The park offers developed lookouts over Apsley, Wollomombi and Tia Falls, extensive bushwalking tracks through eucalypt forest and rainforest, remote camping areas, picnic areas with barbecues, and opportunities for birdwatching, photography and 4WD touring. Facilities are concentrated at key precincts like Apsley Falls, Wollomombi Falls and Budds Mare, while much of the park remains remote and rugged.
