Gundabooka National Park

Gundabooka National Park is a protected area in northwestern New South Wales on the floodplain and escarpments adjacent to the Darling River. The park conserves a sandstone escarpment, river frontage and extensive Aboriginal cultural sites including rock art and shelters. Landscapes range from riverine environments to rugged sandstone country with cliffs that provide panoramic views across the surrounding plains. The park is visited for its cultural heritage, scenic lookouts and short walking opportunities rather than developed visitor infrastructure.

• Cultural sensitivity: Best visited with respect for cultural protocols; many rock art sites are sensitive and should not be touched or disturbed.
• Access and logistics: Access is via unsealed rural roads from Bourke and nearby towns; allow extra travel time and prepare for limited services within the park.
