Bellinger River National Park, Nature reserve in New South Wales, Australia.
The Bellinger River National Park extends across 2,830 hectares of land, featuring steep slopes and valleys filled with numerous cascading waterfalls.
The New South Wales government established the Bellinger River National Park in January 1997 to protect the natural ecosystems along the upper reaches.
Twenty-eight bird species inhabit the park's diverse ecosystems, making it a significant location for naturalists studying Australian wildlife patterns.
Visitors should obtain detailed topographic maps before exploring the park, as there are no marked walking tracks within the protected area.
The Griffiths Lookout at the northern edge provides unobstructed views spanning from the coastal waters to the elevated Dorrigo Escarpment.
