How to Get to Meroo National Park #

The park is accessible by car from the Princes Highway; the nearest towns are Berry and Nowra. Expect short gravel road approaches to parking and short walks to major viewpoints.

Tips for Visiting Meroo National Park #

  • Start early to catch morning light across the sandstone pagodas - mid-morning washes the textures flat.
  • Local rangers can point out colonial-era wells and Aboriginal midden sites often missed by casual visitors.
  • The park's tracks are compact and short; combine walks to form a longer loop rather than relying on one main trail.
