Cottan-Bimbang National Park

Cottan-Bimbang National Park is a nature reserve in the eastern highlands with tall eucalypt forests and temperate rainforests. The different forest types create varied landscapes across the area.

The park was established in 1999 when a state forest was converted into a national park. This change protected old forests and important natural habitats from further use.

The name comes from an Aboriginal language and refers to a palm species that grows naturally in the warm rainforests here. You can spot these plants as you walk through the dense forest areas.

The Oxley Highway runs through the park and provides easy access from the main road. Visitors can use side roads to reach picnic areas and camping spots.

The park is home to several threatened animal species, including gliders and frog species that have adapted to different conditions in the various forest environments. This diversity makes it an important refuge for rare animals.
