Coorabakh National Park

Coorabakh National Park is a protected reserve featuring three volcanic outcrops that rise above dense forest. The land supports different forest types and hosts many plant and animal species across its terrain.

The area became an official national park in 1999 to protect native plants and wildlife. This designation came after efforts to preserve the valuable ecosystem.

The Ngaamba people held deep ties to this country, using its resources and weaving the landscape into their traditions before European contact. That ancestral connection remains important to understanding the place today.

Two main roads, Big Nellie Road and Newbys Creek Road, provide entry to the park. Picnic areas and toilets are located at several spots for visitors to rest and eat.

The park contains 18 different forest ecosystems ranging from eucalypt woodlands to subtropical rainforests. This variety makes it a special place for endangered animals like spotted-tailed quolls and powerful owls.
