Morton National Park

Morton National Park extends across 404 square miles of terrain featuring waterfalls, sandstone cliffs, eucalyptus forests, and deep valleys between Sydney and Canberra.

The national park received its designation in 1938, named after Mark Morton, a state legislative assembly member who supported the creation of this protected area.

The lands within Morton National Park belong to the Yuin people, containing significant sites and mountains that hold importance in their mythology spanning 20,000 years.

Visitors can access multiple walking tracks, including the Pigeon House Mountain trail and paths to Fitzroy Falls, with entrance fees of 4 dollars per vehicle per day.

The park contains Fitzroy Falls, an 81-meter waterfall dropping into a deep gorge, while providing habitat for platypus and native fish species in its rivers.
