Gibraltar Range National Park, Nature reserve in New South Wales, Australia
Gibraltar Range National Park covers 366 km² of highland forest in northeastern New South Wales, 79 km northeast of Glen Innes. It lies within the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Site, inscribed in 1986 and added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007. The park adjoins Washpool National Park to the northwest and Nymboida National Park to the south.
The area forms part of ancient Gondwana Rainforests dating to when Australia separated from the supercontinent. This geological history shaped the plant and animal communities found within its boundaries today.
Gibraltar Range National Park is recognised by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area. Its highland forest holds one of only five remaining populations of the vulnerable rufous scrub-bird, alongside green catbirds, Australian logrunners, paradise riflebirds and pale-yellow robins.
The park is accessed via Gwydir Highway with multiple entry points and access roads. Visitors can find picnic areas, rest spots, and walking trails ranging from easy to moderate difficulty throughout the grounds.
