Warrumbungle National Park
550km west of Sydney, has few peers for camping and day walks. Rocky spires, barren of vegetation, left over from volcanos some 16 million years ago, are burnt red and gold by the setting sun. At sunset, when the colours darken and the sounds of the bush cease, the park offers the peace and serenity only found in away-from-it-all places where no phones ring, no trucks rumble by, and no computer keys beckon.

Mount Kaputar National Park
Located 53km east of Narrabri this park features a peak on a receding edge , the remnents of an 18 million year old volcano, the slopes of which are covered with open forest and savannah woodland.

The park is a popular place for rockclimbers and has some great short wilderness walks. Camping is permitted at Dawsons Spring or the Bark Hut.
