About Warrumbungle Area

The ancient trachyte spires of Warrumbungle National Park are testament to the violent volcanic activity that occurred in the area – and created sensational bushwalks. This is one of the few places where rainforest can be found in such arid surroundings.

Coolah Tops National Park is home to Australia's largest gliding possum, the greater glider, 300-year-old grass trees and the largest snow gums ever recorded.

To the east, Coonabarabran, with its dark and clear starry skies, is known as the astronomy capital of Australia. The country's largest observatory, Siding Spring, is located nearby. Make a detour to stop at a classic country pub in Coonamble or Dunedoo.
