Coorabakh National Park, Nature reserve in Mid-Coast Council, Australia.
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.
Coorabakh lies on the traditional country of the Ngaamba people, who lived in the area before European arrival. The park borders the Lansdowne State Forest, and its three volcanic outcrops, Big Nellie, Flat Nellie and Little Nellie, are named features of the landscape. The sources record no founding date for the park.
The park lies within the country of the Ngaamba people, whose presence here predates European arrival. The sources record this ancestral connection to the Lansdowne escarpment and the valleys around Hannam Vale, and it frames how the land is understood today.
Newbys Cave is reached on foot by following Newbys Creek from the carpark. Newbys Lookout has picnic facilities and views over the Manning River valley, Flat Rock Lookout overlooks the upper Lansdowne Valley, and Starrs Creek picnic area has a rainforest viewing platform.
The three volcanic outcrops are named Big Nellie, Flat Nellie and Little Nellie. Flat Rock Lookout, at 31°41′17″S 152°30′23″E, looks over the upper Lansdowne Valley and the Comboyne Plateau escarpment. Newbys Cave is reached by following Newbys Creek up from the carpark.
