Barrington Tops National Park

Overview

It'll take more than a quick day trip to immerse yourself in this otherworldly temperate rainforest, but it's worth multiple return visits to experience every side of the ancient landscape that's part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area.

Take the six-kilometre Aeroplane Hill walking track to breathe the high country air among the subalpine woodlands and enjoy sightlines to the faraway coast, before settling in at the secluded Wombat Creek campground for a night under the stars. Take a dip in the reviving waters of the Allyn River at Ladies Well in the foothills of Barrington Tops, surrounded by mossy sun-warmed boulders, or spend a day paddling through white water and calm pools on the Barrington River.
