About
The Washpool National Park is a protected national park located in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia. The 58,678-hectare (145,000-acre) park is situated approximately 520 kilometres (320 mi) north of Sydney, inland from Grafton, and is one of the largest uncut forests in New South Wales. The park has two campgrounds and is managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. It was established in 1983 to preserve the significant plant and animal populations found in the Washpool and Gibraltar Range forests. At the same time, it is part of the Gondwana Rainforest of Australia, which is famous for its ancient subtropical and temperate rainforests, rich biodiversity, and ecological significance, and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
