Border Ranges National Park, Nature reserve in Northern Rivers, Australia

Border Ranges National Park is a nature reserve covering about 31,700 hectares of rainforest with subtropical vegetation across the McPherson Range. The landscape features numerous volcanic formations that shape the terrain throughout the park.

The park was gazetted in June 1979, protecting 31,729 hectares of rainforest that had been extensively logged during the 20th century for nearby sawmills. In 1986 it was inscribed within the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Site, and in 2007 it joined the Australian National Heritage List.

The park lies within the traditional country of the Githabul people, and the rainforest plants and animals here are central to their stories and law. The Antarctic beech stands and the spring-flowering beech orchid are among the features Aboriginal guides point out to visitors on walks through the park.

The park has two campgrounds with basic facilities and multiple walking tracks with lookout points. Visitors should be prepared for rainforest terrain, which can be steep and muddy, so sturdy footwear is important.

The Antarctic beech stand here marks the northern limit of the species, Nothofagus moorei. In spring the rare beech orchid blooms beneath these trees, releasing a strong scent. The park also shelters Assa darlingtoni, a frog that carries its tadpoles in hip pouches.
