Girramay National Park, Nature reserve in Tablelands Region, Australia.
Girramay National Park is a nature reserve in the Tablelands Region that stretches across coastal plains with mangroves, wetlands, eucalyptus forests, and tropical rainforest. Two main sections - Edmund Kennedy and Murray Falls - each offer different landscapes and walking opportunities.
The protected area was formed in 2009 when two separate parks merged into a single conservation zone. This union created a larger connected space for protecting natural habitats and wildlife.
The park holds deep cultural meaning for the Girramay Aboriginal people, whose presence shapes how the land is experienced today. Visitors walking through encounter their traditional knowledge woven into the landscape itself.
The park has picnic areas, walking trails of varying difficulty, and accessible boardwalks that make exploring easier. Plan to visit during drier months when paths are in better condition and insects are less active.
The park protects populations of Arenga palms that grow naturally in only a handful of places across mainland Australia. These tropical plants stand out as a rare sight on the Australian continent and shape the character of the wettest forest areas.
