Mount Hyland Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in New South Wales, Australia

Mount Hyland Nature Reserve spans 2,519 hectares of land with three mountain peaks rising 400 meters above the surrounding New England tablelands.

The reserve gained protection status in 1984 and received UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 1986 as part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.

The temperate rainforest contains scientific evidence of ancient Gondwana forests that covered Australia, with Common Sassafras trees dominating the landscape.

The Summit walking track forms a loop through the rainforest, leading to Vista Point picnic area with views across the surrounding wilderness.

The early 1980s marked the rediscovery of the Hastings River mouse and pouched frog populations, previously thought to be extinct.
