A BIG attraction - Choose to do it all or do nothing at all !

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.
