Toonumbar National Park, Nature reserve in Kyogle Council, Australia
Toonumbar National Park is a nature reserve featuring subtropical rainforest terrain with multiple ecosystems spread across the Kyogle area. The landscape includes mountain peaks, creeks, and densely forested sections that support a range of wildlife.
The park was established in 1995 as part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Site recognized in 1986. This designation helped protect one of Australia's oldest rainforests from further changes.
The Githabul Aboriginal people hold this land as sacred, with specific locations serving as sites for traditional ceremonies and spiritual practices. Visitors can sense the deep relationship between the people and the landscape when walking through these places.
The park is accessible by car via Summerland Way and offers camping and picnic areas for visitors. Basic facilities are available, so come prepared for simple outdoor conditions.
The mountain formations come from a volcano that was active roughly 23 million years ago and shaped the landscape. This deep geological history is clearly visible in the distinctive peaks like Mount Lindesay.
