Medowie State Conservation Area

Medowie State Conservation Area, established in January 2003, spans 2,851 hectares in the lower Hunter Valley, near Raymond Terrace and Karuah. This park is part of the traditional country of the Worimi Aboriginal people. It protects important remnant vegetation communities and provides a valuable conservation resource, supporting several vulnerable plant and animal species, including koalas, squirrel gliders, and masked owls. The area also safeguards Aboriginal sites and a convict-built road.
