Mount Kaputar National Park

Mount Kaputar National Park spans 502 square kilometers of volcanic landscapes, featuring terraces, rock formations, and peaks within the Nandewar Range.

The area transformed from grazing land to a public recreation reserve in 1925, achieving national park status in 1959 under New South Wales administration.

The territory holds significance for the Gamilaroi Nation, who utilized the land's resources for sustenance, shelter, and medicinal purposes over thousands of years.

Visitors can access eleven walking tracks, camping grounds with facilities, and three cabins at Dawsons Spring equipped with water supply for showers.

The park contains a rare pink slug species that emerges after rainfall, measuring up to 20 centimeters in length and living exclusively in this mountain area.
