Ben Halls Gap National Park

Ben Halls Gap National Park is a nature reserve in New South Wales located where the Liverpool and Mount Royal Ranges meet. The landscape features old growth eucalypt forest with sections containing rare sphagnum moss mounds.

The area received national park designation in 1995 and later became a nature reserve in 2016. This change reflects evolving protection measures for the region.

The reserve holds ecological significance with its old growth eucalypt forest and rare sphagnum moss mounds in specific rainforest sections.

The reserve lies roughly 60 kilometers southeast of Tamworth and about 10 kilometers from Nundle. Visitors should check with local authorities about access options and any guided tour opportunities available.

The forest remains in its natural state with minimal human disturbance, supporting high-quality habitats free from invasive plant species. This undisturbed condition makes it a rare example of unaltered forest ecosystems in the region.
