如何抵達

All roads are unpaved, but are gazetted formed roads. Check your rental agreement if you are renting a car. There are historic ruins at Newnes Glen that are quite easy to get to. The glow worm tunnel is a disused railway tunnel, so the walks to get there are reasonably flat and easily accessible from the car park. Dunns Swamp has easy walks and plenty of opportunities for canoeing.

There are car and caravan camping sites at Newnes and Dunns Swamp.

當地交通

There is little to no public transport to or within the activities in the park. Its car and walk, unless you are a particularly adventurous cyclist, in which case train and bicycle is a possibility.
