Mount Kaputar National Park, Nature reserve in New South Wales, Australia
Mount Kaputar National Park is a nature reserve covering a large area with volcanic landforms, rock formations, and multiple peaks in a mountain range. The landscape contains different elevations and stone terraces that shape the terrain.
The area was originally grazing land before it became a public recreation area in 1925. It gained national park status in 1959 under New South Wales administration.
The land holds deep meaning for the Gamilaroi Nation, who gathered food and medicine from it for thousands of years. Visitors walking through the park today follow paths that connect them to these ancient relationships with the place.
The area has multiple walking trails of varying difficulty, and visitors can camp or stay in small accommodations. Water is available at facilities on site for washing and basic needs.
The park is home to a rare pink slug species that appears after rainfall and lives only in this mountain area. These creatures are a remarkable feature that visitors are unlikely to encounter anywhere else.
