Willi Willi National Park is a protected area in New South Wales on the Mid North Coast of Australia, conserving steep ridgelines and native forest. It forms part of the network of state national parks that protect remnant rainforest and eucalypt vegetation in the region.

The park offers walking tracks and lookouts across ridges and valleys; trails are generally short and focused on forest, wildlife viewing and scenic vistas rather than developed visitor facilities. Typical environments include upland rainforest pockets, wet sclerophyll forest and sandstone escarpments.

The reserve was established by the New South Wales national parks system to protect native vegetation and fauna; management focuses on conservation, fire management and providing low-impact visitor access. Over time the area has been managed to reduce invasive species and to retain native habitat corridors.

The park sits inland from the Mid North Coast towns of Kempsey and Port Macquarie, on the eastern edge of the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales. Access is via local roads from nearby regional centres and the landscape is characterised by steep slopes and river valleys.

Wollemi NP lies northwest of the Blue Mountains and roughly 150-250 km from Sydney depending on which park entrance is used. Main access points are near Lithgow and Mudgee; drive on the Mitchell or Great Western highways then follow local roads to trailheads. The NSW National Parks website lists formal access points and recommended routes.

• Check the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service site for current track closures and recommended routes.
• Wollemi Wilderness has limited cell coverage; leave an itinerary with someone and carry a map and compass.
• Visit the Wollemi Pine lookout areas but resist publicizing precise coordinates - conservation authorities restrict access to the rare Wollemia nobilis sites to protect them.
