Tapin Tops National Park, Nature reserve in Mid-Coast Council, Australia.
Tapin Tops National Park is a nature reserve in Mid-Coast Council featuring subtropical rainforests and towering eucalyptus trees across elevated terrain. The landscape is defined by dense vegetation and natural lookouts such as Rowleys Rock, which offers views over the surrounding region.
The area was designated for protection in 1993 and officially received national park status in 1999. This recognition resulted from efforts to safeguard endangered species and their habitats.
The Birpai people of the Bundjalung nation are the traditional custodians of this land, with the name deriving from the Kattang language. It refers to wild dogs that once roamed this region.
The Dingo Tops campground offers ten sites with picnic tables, barbecue facilities, toilets, and parking spaces. Visitors should be prepared for hilly terrain and wear comfortable walking shoes, as trails wind through forested areas.
Red-legged pademelons, Parma wallabies, greater gliders, and koalas inhabit the forests here, making this a significant habitat for these animals. The view from Rowleys Rock extends toward Taree and the Tasman Sea.
