Weddin Mountains National Park

The Weddin Mountains form a crescent-shaped range that rises from the surrounding plains, featuring cliff lines, caves, and deep gullies with seasonal waterfalls.

The park contains Ben Hall's Cave, where the notorious bushranger sought refuge during the 1860s while conducting raids in the surrounding areas.

Seaton's Farm within the park displays agricultural practices from the 1930s Great Depression, built entirely from salvaged materials during economic hardship.

Visitors can access multiple walking tracks, including the Basin Gully to Eualdrie lookout track and Bertha's Gully track, with camping facilities at Ben Hall's ground.

The protected area hosts 12 endangered plant species and 39 threatened bird species, including peregrine falcons and wedge-tailed eagles that nest in the cliffs.
