Tapin Tops National Park

Tapin Tops National Park extends across 110 square kilometers of wilderness, containing subtropical rainforests and towering eucalyptus trees at elevations reaching 1000 meters.

The protected area gained national park status in 1999, following conservation efforts that started in 1993 to safeguard endangered species and their habitats.

The Birpai people of the Bundjalung nation are the traditional custodians of this land, with the word Tapin coming from Kattang language meaning dingo.

The Dingo Tops campground offers ten sites with picnic tables, barbecue facilities, toilets, and parking spaces for visitors exploring the national park.

Red-legged pademelons, Parma wallabies, greater gliders, and koalas inhabit the forests around Rowleys Rock lookout, which presents views toward Taree and the Tasman Sea.
