Warrabah National Park, Nature reserve in Tamworth Regional Council, Australia
Warrabah National Park is a nature reserve where the Namoi River cuts through a roughly 15-kilometer gorge lined with granite cliffs and deep pools. The valley offers multiple hiking trails and swimming areas that shape how visitors move through the landscape.
The park was established in 1984 by the New South Wales government to protect around 35 square kilometers of land. This designation marked an important commitment to preserving the valley ecosystem and its river system.
Indigenous peoples lived in this region for thousands of years, and their rock art and sacred sites are still visible throughout the valley. Visitors can encounter these marks of ancient occupation while hiking through the park.
The park has three main camping areas: Muluerindie, Warrabah, and Gum Hole, each offering different starting points for exploring the valley. Visitors should be prepared for changing water levels, especially during wetter months.
The park protects more than 250 designated habitat zones for endangered plant and animal species found nowhere else in the region. These small protected areas create a mosaic of different ecosystems packed into one valley.
