Mount Walsh National Park 

More photos   

Rising to 703m above sea level in the Coastal Range, Mount Walsh National Park is a rugged wilderness park with open eucalypt forest and dry rainforest. Spectacular views are rewards for experienced backpackers and climbers. The “Bluff” area of Mount Walsh, at the park’s northern end, is a prominent landmark in the Biggenden area. The park features sheltered gullies, rugged ridge lines with mountain areas with spectacular exposed granite outcrops and cliffs support an amazing diversity of vegetation. Such diversity gives a home to many endangered animal species such as the Powerful Owl and Grey Goshawk. You may also see peregrine Falcons and Lace Monitors.

Things to do

• Have a picnic or barbecue below The Bluff
• Bush camping is allowed in the park. No facilities are provided so visitors must be totally self-sufficient
• A 300m trail leads from the picnic area through open forest to a rocky creek gully fringed with dry rainforest. Continue 200m to the treeline for views over the surrounding countryside. Only experienced walkers should attempt the 2·5 hour hike to the summit of Mt Walsh.
