Barrington Tops National Park

After a long journey from Newcastle, filled with some winding roads, I can confidently say it was worth the trip. We parked near the Gloucester Falls Picnic area and took the loop to the Andrew Laurie Lookout and the Gloucester Falls Lookout. There's also a path leading to the falls that can easily be overlooked.

A stunning getaway from everyday life! With minimal to no cell reception and long stretches between the mountains and the nearest service station, this location offers a wonderful retreat into nature. The roads are mostly gravel and can be somewhat intimidating, but you’ll find multiple camping spots, opportunities for trailblazing, and even a chance to see a wild brumby. There are several breathtaking viewpoints along the way, and while there are occasional pit stops, the scenery is truly remarkable!

It is a long drive from Sydney to Barrington Tops NP but its absolutely worth it. Blue Gum Loop Track is a must do track; kids would love it. There are multiple sitting bench to have a nice, calm lunch or dinner or breakfast also BBQ spot. The Sound of Williams river flows through this rainforest is just mesmerising. This rain forest is part of Gondwana. This NP offers camping, the area offers fishing activities. #PureVision Photography By Sathya.

Take a 4WD and discover the beauty of Barrington Tops. The main roads and trails are well-maintained, offering a smooth ride. You'll find numerous excellent camping spots with good amenities. The breathtaking views are stunning at every turn, whether from the trails or the lookouts. Plan a visit in the winter for a day trip or in the summer for a long weekend getaway. Although many tracks are closed to vehicles in winter, you can still enjoy hiking them. It's easily accessible from either Gloucester or Scone.

Beautiful mountain streams and rainforest! Birds everywhere! Even a lyrebird crossed our path. Great walks to lookouts and river, filled with all kinds of mosses and ferns.
