Settle in to your campsite, boil the billy, and plan your exploration. Head up Fans Horizon walking track to the lookout, you’ll get great views over the ‘crooked’ mountains. If you’re feeling adventurous, try the challenging Breadknife and Grand High Tops walk.

This park erupts in a riot of colour and scent when wildflowers blanket the heaths in spring. You might see and smell fragrant boronia, sticky daisy, and vibrant bacon and egg peas. Orchids are also found throughout the park.

At night, back at the campground, cook up a barbecue and settle in for the symphony of the bush. You might hear the common dunnart or yellow-footed marsupial mouse rustling around your tent.

Warrumbungle National Park after-fire program

The 2013 bushfires were the largest and most intense on record for Warrumbungle National Park. Almost 90 per cent of the park was burnt, but conservation programs and research have helped us better understand the impact of fire and how the park has recovered.
