Wallaroo National Park
This little-visited national park is a pocket of wilderness just an hour from Newcastle.
Few travelers venture into Wallaroo National Park, making it the ideal destination for adventurers looking to escape the beaten track. Explore unmarked forest trails on foot or by mountain bike, venture off-road into the bushlands, or climb up Gilmore Hill for a view over the park. Wildlife-watching opportunities are plentiful, especially along the Williams River. Keep a lookout for eastern grey kangaroos, swamp wallabies, and birds such as the yellow-tailed black cockatoo. There are no campgrounds in the national park, but campers can find options in Twelve Mile Creek to the south or Clarence town to the north.

When to Go
Mild year-round temperatures mean hiking is always possible in the Wallaroo National Park. Escape the crowds of the coastal resorts in summer (December through February) and enjoy the relative shade of the woodlands, or come in spring to admire the wildflowers. Visit in winter, and you might even find you have the entire place to yourself.
