Koreelah National Park, National park in New South Wales, Australia.
Koreelah National Park is a protected reserve in New South Wales featuring steep hillsides blanketed by eucalypt and rainforest vegetation. The landscape descends into deep valleys where Koreelah Creek winds through the terrain, creating pools and channels throughout the area.
The area received World Heritage status for its Gondwana rainforests, which contain plant species that have survived since ancient times when Australia was part of a larger continental landmass. These ancient forests offer a window into how ecosystems functioned millions of years ago.
This refuge harbors rare animals like platypuses, koalas, and glossy black cockatoos that live in their natural habitat here. Visitors often spot these creatures when moving quietly through the forests and listening to the sounds around them.
Visitors can hike the Gorge walking track, swim in natural pools, and camp at the Koreelah Creek campground with unpowered sites for tents and caravans. Tenterfield town nearby offers supplies and services before heading into the park.
The park blends rainforest with eucalypt woodlands where crimson rosellas, king parrots, and eastern yellow robins nest high in the canopy. This particular mix of birds creates an unusual birdwatching experience for visitors exploring the treetops.
