Wollemi National Park
Wollemi is more than half a million hectares of sandstone plateau, gorge and canyon — part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area and famous as the place where the Wollemi pine was found still growing after 90 million years. Its northern edge is right on Denman's doorstep.
What you can actually see
Most of Wollemi is trackless wilderness for experienced walkers only, but the northern fringes offer accessible lookouts, picnic areas and unsealed drives with big views across the escarpment country. It's a place for scenery and space rather than a signposted day walk.
Know before you go
Roads into the park are largely unsealed, and many require high clearance or four-wheel drive after rain. There's no reception, no water and no fuel. Tell someone where you're going and when you expect to be back.
Combining it with the Bylong Valley
The easiest way to sample this country is to drive the Bylong Valley Way from Sandy Hollow, which skirts the northern boundary through some of the most photogenic farmland and escarpment scenery in the state.
- Check NSW National Parks alerts for closures before leaving Denman.
- Carry more water than you think you need — there is none in the park.
- Fuel up in Denman or Sandy Hollow; there's nothing once you're in.
South-west of Denman; northern access via Sandy Hollow and the Bylong Valley Way.
Base yourself in the village — our rooms are about ~40 min to northern access from here, with free parking at your door.
