Macquarie Pass National Park

The natural landscape features sandstone ridges, gullies, and waterfalls within a protected area along the Illawarra escarpment in New South Wales.

The national park establishment on the Illawarra escarpment reflects Australia's commitment to preserving natural spaces through the NSW Parks and Wildlife Service.

The park lands maintain ecological connections to Indigenous Australian heritage while providing educational opportunities about native wildlife and plant species.

Visitors can access the park via the Illawarra Highway, with entry points from Sydney, Wollongong, Robertson, and Nowra leading to designated parking areas.

The park shelters threatened species such as tiger quolls and long-nosed potoroos alongside lyrebirds, satin bowerbirds, koalas, possums, and platypus.
