Toonumber National Park

Toonumber National Park is a significant World Heritage Area of 5750 hectares. It contains two World Heritage-listed rainforests - the Murray Scrub and Dome Mountain Forest.

Where is it?: Toonumber National Park is located about 35 km north west of Kyogle. Follow the Summerland Way out of town heading west.

The region is characterised by remnant volcanic forms - Mount Lindesay, Dome Mountain and Edinburgh Castle. The combination of rich volcanic soils and high subtropical rainfall means that the park contains over 400 species of flowering plant. This is the home to the booyong tree, strangler fig, Moreton Bay fig, hoop pine, giant stinging tree, flame tree and rosewood. It is also a habitat for over 100 species of birds and has numbers of rare animals including the tiger quoll, Coxen's fig parrot and Albert's lyrebird. The Murray Scrub Walking Track, where it is possible to see hundreds of strangler figs, starts just south of the Iron Pot Creek crossing. The walk lasts for about half an hour.
