Gulaga National Park, Nature reserve in New South Wales, Australia
Gulaga National Park is a nature reserve on the south coast of New South Wales featuring forested ridges and a prominent mountain peak. The landscape includes rainforest sections, open woodland, and walking trails that offer views across valleys and towards the coast.
The area saw gold mining activity in the late 1800s and early 1900s, which left traces across the slopes. The Yuin people later secured formal recognition of their land rights, reshaping how the park is managed and protected today.
The mountain holds deep meaning for the Yuin people, who have called this land home for countless generations. Walking through the park, you encounter a landscape shaped by this long relationship with the people who steward it.
The park can be accessed from several entry points with marked trails suitable for different fitness levels. Most people visit during warmer months when walking conditions are easiest, though the area is accessible year-round.
The park contains rainforest at its southernmost limit for this type of forest, a fragile ecosystem existing at the edge of its natural range. This rare forest type attracts bird watchers, as the area supports a wide variety of bird species.
