Kanangra-Boyd National Park

The national park spans 68,660 hectares of varied terrain featuring sandstone cliffs, deep valleys, and the prominent Kanangra Walls rising above dense forests.

The area gained protected status in 1969 after sustained environmental campaigns successfully prevented mining operations from establishing within the territory.

The park forms part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, representing significant ecological systems and natural habitats for biological conservation.

Visitors can access multiple walking tracks, camping grounds, and lookout points via Kanangra Walls Road, with Boyd River campground offering basic facilities.

The park contains the second-largest wilderness area in New South Wales, encompassing 111,000 hectares of untouched natural landscape.
