Bungawalbin National Park National Park

Bungawalbin National Park is a protected area in New South Wales, Australia, established to conserve wetland, swamp forest, and associated riparian ecosystems. It protects remnant lowland rainforest and swamp habitats that are increasingly rare on the coastal plain.

The park appeals to visitors interested in lowland rainforest ecology and birdwatching rather than developed recreation; access is typically by minor roads and walking tracks with limited facilities. Management focuses on conserving wetland and riparian values and controlling invasive species.

The area was reserved to protect remnant ecological communities and to provide connectivity between other protected areas in the region. Conservation objectives include protecting habitat for native flora and fauna and maintaining hydrological functions.

Geographically the park lies in northern New South Wales near the coastal lowlands, accessible from regional towns via local roads and surrounded by a mosaic of agricultural, forested, and wetland landscapes.

Bungawalbin National Park is in northern New South Wales. Access is by local roads; the nearest towns provide basic services and directions-contact NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service for current access and track information.

• Trails can be muddy and overgrown-good boots and a local map are recommended.
• Check with local rangers for recent wildlife sightings; the park is home to birds and small mammals best seen early morning.
• Be prepared for limited facilities; bring supplies and plan for a self-sufficient day trip.
