Mallee Cliffs National Park, National park in New South Wales, Australia
Mallee Cliffs National Park is a protected area in New South Wales covering red sand plains and linear dunes. The landscape features diverse plant communities and natural sand formations shaped by wind and weather.
The park received protection status through two phases of declaration: first in 1977 and then expanded in 1983. The second phase extended protection across a much larger land area.
The land contains plant communities that show how vegetation patterns shift across different environments and time. These varied habitats shape the character of the region and reflect natural ecological processes.
Visits are restricted to educational groups, research activities, and approved study visits, requiring advance planning. Contacting the managing authorities beforehand ensures you can organize your visit properly.
The park functions as a feral predator-free zone, creating a safe space for extinct native animals to return. These conservation efforts have allowed threatened species like the bilby to rebuild their numbers.
