Woomargama Park

Woomargama National Park, established in January 2001, spans 24,185 hectares, making it the largest protected area west of the Great Dividing Range. The park is home to endangered species such as the Booroolong frog and the rare wattle, acacia phasmoides. Birdwatching reveals wonders such as the regent honeyeater, superb parrot, and powerful owl. Visitors can enjoy activities like camping, hiking, and 4WD touring. The Hume & Hovell Walking Track traverses the park, following the Tin Mines Trail for the majority of its length. With over 100 km of unsealed trails, visitors can test the capabilities of their 4WD or mountain bike skills. The park offers two campgrounds: Samual Bollard and Tin Mines, both suitable for backpack and vehicle-based camping, not caravans. These campgrounds include sealed pit toilets, shelters, wood barbecues (bring your own firewood), picnic tables, and rainwater tanks. Horse riding is permitted on park trails; however, overnight camping with horses is not permitted. From either Hanel’s or Norths Lookout, the vistas are among the most spectacular in the region, providing views of the Snowy Mountains across the Riverina.
