Across its thousands of hectares, Tallaganda National Park plays host to a huge variety of environments. Up at its highest points, you'll discover subalpine snow gums and even high-altitude swamp. On the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range, you'll find tall, moist forest dominated by ribbon gum and narrow-leaved peppermint, while on its west slopes are forests of mountain gum.
For the self-reliant traveller, this diversity of environments offers excellent opportunities for bushwalking, orienteering, 4WDing, and mountain biking. There are trails criss-crossing the park, but make sure you've got a topographic map as well as everything else you'll need - before you set out.
For those wanting to relax, a picnic by Mulloon Creek, some birdwatching and wildlife-spotting wombats, red-neck wallabies and the spotted-tail quoll are all found here or overnight camping are all recommended. Listen out for the calls of the powerful and barking owls if you decide to pitch your tent.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
