Mount Jerusalem National Park

Mount Jerusalem National Park encompasses 52 square kilometers of diverse ecosystems, including tall eucalypt forests and subtropical rainforest in the Byron Bay hinterland.

The national park designation in 1995 resulted from environmental campaigns against logging activities, particularly during the Nullum State Forest blockade that year.

The park lies within the Tweed Caldera region, connecting to Indigenous communities through generations of environmental stewardship and traditional land management.

Visitors can access the park through multiple entry points from Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, and Uki, with facilities for hiking, horse riding, and birdwatching activities.

The area forms part of the Nightcap Range Important Bird Area, supporting populations of Albert's lyrebirds and red-legged pademelons in protected habitats.
