Woko National Park, National park in New South Wales, Australia.
Woko National Park is a nature reserve in New South Wales featuring steep hillsides covered with rainforest, rocky outcrops, and eucalyptus woodland. The Manning River winds through the park, creating river pools and gullies that break up the landscape.
The area was originally cleared pastureland used for cattle grazing before becoming a protected park in 1982. Park boundaries and management were adjusted again in 2005.
The Manning River, flowing through the park, provides essential recreational spaces where families gather for swimming and outdoor activities throughout summer months.
The campground offers basic facilities including barbecue areas and toilets, though you need to bring your own water and firewood. Walking tracks are generally accessible but require sturdy shoes because of the steep and rocky ground.
The reserve shelters threatened species including the brush-tailed rock wallaby, which hides among rocky crevices and dense vegetation. This wallaby is found in only a few locations across the region, making this park a crucial refuge for the species.
