THE BARRINGTON TOPS NATIONAL PARK:- This rugged park is full of contrasts. Carved out of an ancient volcano, it rises from near sea level to over 1500m. In the lower valleys, you\'ll find World Heritage-listed subtropical rainforests. Up on the plateau, there is subalpine woodland which can have snow in winter.

Most of the area is declared wilderness, and it\'s a well-known destination for bushwalkers. But the park is accessible even to those with limited mobility. Its excellent track network extends from short, easy walks to steep overnight treks.

The park\'s varied environments are home to a wide range of plants and animals, and it protects more than 50 rare or threatened species. In this area, many northern and southern plants meet the limit of their range.

Enjoy an escorted drive with the host's vehicle into the forests. See the pristine surrounds on a walk amongs trees that are hundreds of years old. Learn a little about the flora that has made The Barrington Tops famous & awarded World Heritage status. This is a approx 4 hour journey and includes a candle lit dinner for two later in your cabin by a well qualified chef. This service must be booked well in advance. Cost is $295 for 2 persons.
