Tooloom National Park

The Tooloom Scrub rainforest is World Heritage-listed, including important areas of red and flooded gum. There are 10 species of kangaroos and wallabies in the park, including the threatened long-nosed potoroo.

You can enjoy a quiet picnic or go on a bushwalk. With a choice of tracks from short and easy to something more challenging, you're sure to find one to suit your needs.

Tooloom National Park is in the far north-east of NSW, about 850 km from Sydney and 185 km from Brisbane. The park is about 10 km from Urbenville on the road to Legume.

Walking tracks: From the picnic area there is a 30 minute loop walk through subtropical rainforest and you can walk to Tooloom Lookout. To get to the northern section of the park, walk along Wallaby Creek Rd and fire trail.

Picnics and barbecues: You'll find the Tooloom picnic area on the Urbenville to Legume road. There are toilets, shelters and wood barbecues. Firewood collection within the park is not permitted. Please bring your own firewood.

Lookouts: From Tooloom Lookout you'll get some great views of the World Heritage listed Tooloom Scrub.

Natural environment: The forest mosaic in Tooloom National Park provides a critical refuge for a wide range of native animals. Tooloom Scrub is World Heritage listed as part of the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia.

Native plants: The vegetation in the park is varied, from the forest redgum dominated woodlands of the valley, through moist eucalypt forests to subtropical rainforest on the plateau. You can see the beautiful yellow Carabeen in sheltered parts of the plateau or pockets of dry rainforest in the Wallaby Creek valley.



Native animals: There are many mammals in the park, including 10 species of kangaroos and wallabies. Some of these are threatened, such as the black-striped wallaby, long-nosed potoroo, rufous bettong and the red-legged pademelon. The subtropical rainforests provide refuge for threatened birds such as powerful owls, masked owls, red goshawks and Albert lyrebirds.
