Woomargama National Park
National Park NSW national park protecting dry eucalypt woodlands
Box‑gum woodland and granite outcrops near Albury offer walking trails, mountain views and camping; visitors spot kangaroos, birdlife and use signposted walks to scenic lookouts.
Woomargama National Park is a protected area in New South Wales that conserves native woodland and forest on a range of granite ridges and slopes near the small locality of Woomargama. It is used for day walks, wildlife viewing and low-intensity camping.
Trail networks and picnic areas provide access to ridges and lookouts that offer regional views; the park supports a mix of eucalypt species and associated understory plants. Recreational use is generally regional rather than international, with visitors from nearby towns and cities.
The park was established to protect local native vegetation, wildlife habitat and the scenic ridge country typical of the area. Management focuses on conservation, visitor safety on walking tracks and control of invasive species.
The park lies inland in New South Wales, north of the Riverina plain and within driving distance of regional centres such as Albury-Wodonga; the nearest settlement is the village of Woomargama.
- Vegetation and walking tracks: Look for native box gum and eucalypt woodland communities and seasonal wildflowers; many walking tracks link ridge-top views and sheltered picnic areas.
