Paroo-Darling National Park
Paroo-Darling National Park is the newest park in Far Western New South Wales. It is made up of several different parcels of land and offers a diverse range of recreational opportunities. Many of the areas the park protects are of outstanding international and national significance. The park contains extensive wetlands associated with the Paroo River, the last major unregulated river system within the Murray-Darling Basin. The Paroo River Wetlands have recently been added to the list of internationally important wetlands recognised under the Ramsar Convention. The park also protects several endangered and vulnerable species. A range of opportunities for people to experience this special place are being developed in a way that also protects the park's other values.
Learn about this fascinating landscape and its history in the interpretive display in the White Cliffs Visitor Centre. The visitor centre was built in 2004 using 'clean, green' technology.
Join a guided Discovery Tour of the park with Paakantyi traditional owners. The well-trained and knowledgeable guides are based in Wilcannia and can also show you around this historical Darling River town.
Gaze at the stars in the unblemished night sky at the Coach and Horses campground at Wilga, where you can enjoy an authentic bush-camping experience beside the age-old Darling river.
Experience the ever-changing Lake Peery as it cycles through flood and drought and back again. Once filled, the lake can hold water for three years attracting many waterbirds to the area. When dry, mound springs from the Great Artesian Basin become visible on the lake bed.
Take a walk along one of the several walking tracks being developed in the park. The visitor centre can provide information on walking opportunities.
