This park is closed due to Phytophthora contamination, unless the closure is otherwise extended or removed. https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/conservation-programs/fighting-invasive-phytophthora ; 

How you can help

To prevent phytophthora infection and spreading in parks and at home, try these hygiene tips:

  • Start your trip with clean, dirt-free, dry gear (including shoes, bike tyres, camping gear, vehicles)
  • Use the boot wash or scrub stations provided – these capture contaminated water or control flow to septic or sewage systems where root rot will die
  • Stay on formed tracks
  • Follow instructions on signage
  • Clean your gear again when you get home – try a solution of 70% methylated spirits or ethanol, 30% water, and wash straight into the septic/sewage system. You may want to keep a spray bottle in the car.

Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information, please call the NPWS Cumberland area office on 02 4572 3100.

Closed parks: Yiraaldiya National Park closed during the establishment of feral predator-free area

Yiraaldiya National Park is a feral predator-free area. This means that feral predators, such as red foxes and feral cats, are being eradicated from the park. Locally extinct native wildlife are being reintroduced, including eastern bettongs, koalas and long-nosed bandicoots. For this reason, there is no access to the park while the feral predator-free area is being established. Once complete, the park will open for sustainable visitor access and enjoyment, and educational and research opportunities.

During the closure period visitors may not visit the park, and only NPWS staff and authorised contractors and volunteers are allowed entry to the park. 

Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information call the local park office on 02 4580 2750.
