Koreelah National Park

Koreelah National Park, located 631 km north of Sydney, is a deserted oasis of nature.

It is set within the Scenic Rim Important Bird Area and is known for its rare and threatened bird species. BirdLife International has recognized its importance in providing shelter for these species.

The park offers a range of exciting features to explore. The main highlight is the stunning gorge, southwest of the campsite, which has a deep water hole at the head. The waterhole is surrounded by impressive cliffs, perfect for diving. Wildlife enthusiasts can also spot platypus, koalas, sugar gliders, brush-tailed rock wallabies, and glossy black cockatoos in the park.

For those looking to camp and fully immerse themselves in nature, the campsite west of White Swamp Road is an excellent choice. It has barbecues and a compost toilet, and the peaceful atmosphere allows visitors to disconnect from technology and enjoy the surroundings. It's worth noting that the grass and weeds are long due to the eviction of cattle in 1999, but this only adds to the wilderness experience.

Koreelah National Park is a fantastic destination for those seeking a unique and enjoyable nature experience. With its excellent facilities and stunning features, it offers a rare glimpse into the beauty of Australia's natural landscapes.
