Nightcap National Park, part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, is a dramatically beautiful park full of ancient rainforests, magical waterways and spectacular views.
The lush rainforest provides a home for the newly discovered nightcap oak as well as a number of threatened animal species, including Albert’s lyrebird and Fleay’s barred frog which takes shelter under leaf litter and makes an ‘ok-ok-ok-ok-ok’ after rain.
With easy access from Kyogle Road via Nimbin, you can enjoy a picnic, bushwalk or overnight camping trip amid the park’s escarpments, waterfalls and crystal clear creeks and enjoy incredible views of the 20 million year-old Wollumbin shield volcano.
Up to date information on park facilities, closures, payment for park passes and bookings of camping facilities are available via the National Parks and Wildlife Service App.

The NSW National Parks app is free to download on iOS and Android and offers an alternative to the traditional park brochure or map.
Download information on selected parks when you’re at home, then you can access park maps, guides and important info when you’re in a national park and may not have internet access or mobile reception.
- Download a park before you go, then navigational GPS functionality allows you to view information and maps even without internet access.
- Use the map to locate parks, trails, things to do and places to stay.
You’re never out of range with the NSW National Parks app.
