Tooloom National Park

Tooloom National Park is a nature reserve containing 4,380 hectares of subtropical rainforest in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. The landscape features giant white beech trees, thorny yellowwoods, and dense vegetation patterns that define the terrain.

The park was established in 1995 as part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Site. In 2007 it was added to the Australian National Heritage List, formally recognizing its value.

The name comes from the Bundjalung word Duluhm, referring to Tooloom Falls, and the Githabul Aboriginal people share management of the park today. You can sense this cultural connection when walking through the rainforest and visiting the waterfall.

The park has walking tracks, picnic areas with tables, and barbecue facilities available year-round except during severe weather. Visit during drier periods to safely use the trails and facilities.

Ten different species of kangaroos and wallabies live in the park, including the endangered long-nosed potoroo sheltering in dense undergrowth. These rare animals are difficult to spot, but their presence signals an intact ecosystem.
