Bago Bluff National Park

Bago Bluff National Park is a nature reserve covering about 4,000 hectares with walking trails threading through native bush and rock formations. The terrain varies across the park, with different zones offering different vegetation and geological features to explore.

The protected area was created from sections of former state forests and gained national park status in 1999. This designation marked a shift toward stronger conservation for the woodlands.

The land holds deep meaning for Indigenous peoples who lived here for countless generations and maintained close ties to the territory. Visitors walking through the park can sense this connection woven into the landscape.

The park can be reached from the south via forest roads or through two entry points along the Oxley Highway. Wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water, as the terrain varies and some trails can be steep or rough.

Old quarries scattered throughout the park hold fossils of leaves and shells that tell the story of past climates and environments. These geological clues reveal that the region experienced very different conditions long ago.
