Ghin-Doo-Ee National Park, Nature reserve in Mid-Coast Council, Australia
Ghin-Doo-Ee National Park is a nature reserve in Mid-Coast Council covering roughly 4,800 hectares with wetlands and bushland habitats. The terrain features diverse ecosystems across an average elevation of 250 meters (820 feet).
Ghin-Doo-Ee lies in New South Wales, about 200 km northeast of Sydney and roughly 72 km north of Newcastle, immediately west of Myall Lakes National Park. It protects the upper catchments of the Little Myall River and the Johnson River, with terrain averaging 250 m in elevation.
The park's name is the Gadjang word for the Australian brushturkey, a bird of the local forests. The Gadjang language belongs to the Worimi Aboriginal people of this part of New South Wales, so the name records their term for the bird rather than a colonial place name.
Bring detailed topographic maps to navigate the terrain safely and effectively. The Booti Booti Office is available on weekdays to provide visitor information and assistance.
