MOUNT KAPUTAR

From the 1512m summit of Mt Kaputar, you will be treated to panoramic views encompassing a staggering ten percent of NSW, weather permitting. Whether you’re a nature lover, photographer, bushwalker, camper or simply seeking a little solitude, prepare to be spellbound by the grandeur of this landscape of lava terraces and volcanic plugs.

Mt Kaputar National Park protects a wide variety of plant communities, including semiarid woodlands, wet eucalypt forests and subalpine heaths. Keep an eye out for the Kaputar giant pink slug and rock skink. They only exist in this park and found nowhere else in the world!

For those with time to thoroughly explore the park, two camping areas with hot showers and electric barbeques are available as well as three well equipped cabins at Dawsons Spring, which can be booked through the NPWS office. Mt Kaputar has a range of walks to suit all tastes, from pleasant bush ramblings to strenuous climbs. A guide for the marked walking tracks is available from the Narrabri Visitor Information Centre, NPWS office in Narrabri or online.
