Come up and journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Washpool National Park, where you can immerse yourself in steep gorges, crystal-clear waters, and the awe-inspiring beauty of ancient rainforests, featuring the world's largest stand of coachwood trees and impressive giant red cedar specimens.
Both Washpool and the neighbouring Gibraltar Range National Park are part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area and offer serene wilderness walks ranging from short half-hour strolls to multi-day adventures.
Exploring the region's national parks allows you to relish in the simple joys of bushwalking, camping, and picnicking amidst stunning natural surroundings, far away from the stresses of everyday life.
π· @on.the.road_australia based themselves at Bellbird campground, which is surrounded by rainforest π They were also lucky enough to hear and spot some beautiful lyrebirds during their visit.

βοΈ Snowflakes fell around parts of New England High Country this week. And even though we didn't see much snow settling on the ground, like in some past years, there was enough to create lasting memories for many.
π€ It has been wonderful to see so many people visiting the region and supporting our towns and villages whilst out and about snowchasing.
Winter is still upon us, and it's a magical time of year to come up and immerse yourself in the beauty of the season, where you can explore Tenterfield, Glen Innes, Inverell, Guyra, Armidale, Uralla, Walcha, and surrounds.
π§£π§€ Check out local accommodation options & things to see and do via our website and book your ultimate winter escape: www.newenglandhighcountry.com.au
π· @samanthaturnbullauthor shared this precious memory from the Guyra Bowling Club earlier this week.
#newenglandhighcountry #newsouthwales #seeaustralia_nsw #australia
π¦ Mother of Ducks Lagoon Nature Reserve in Guyra is a beautiful location to relax surrounded by wetlands, native plants, and more birds than you can count.
π The birdwatching platform at the eastern edge of the lagoon is a bustling bird habitat and a great place to stop off if you're travelling along the New England Highway.
There's a huge variety of birds here, including endangered and threatened species. π―π΅ You may even catch a glimpse of the renowned Japanese Snipe, which lives here from August to April before returning to Japan.
Other migratory birds you may see here include common greenshanks and white-throated needletails.
π₯Ύ If you're keen to break up your road trip with a leg stretch, take a short walk around the wetlands along the levee bank.
And if you've worked up an appetite, it's a lovely location to sit and enjoy a picnic.
π Don't forget to take your camera and binoculars!
Come up and explore the natural beauty of New England High Country!
