Australia National Parks

Australia is a country abundant with National Parks. Each park is unique, its environment vastly different to its neighbour.

Due to each state and territory having varying climates visitors will experience something new and exciting in every part of the Land Down Under.

The variety of National Parks in New South Wales is immense ranging from rainforests, rugged bush, marine wonderlands to outback deserts. These parks have campsites which offer a luxurious accommodation as well as quiet wilderness. Visitors to New South Wales National Parks can take walking tracks that cater to everyone’s level of fitness.

The East Coast of New South Wales presents tourists with rainforests, beaches, lighthouses and panoramic ocean views whilst Outback New South Wales shows off its rugged terrain and bush camping.

Early in 2009 much of the state of Victoria was devastated by bushfires. Slowly these National Parks are recovering and have begun to reopen for public use. Exploration of the Victorian National Parks will see visitors taking walking or bicycle tracks, fishing, swimming, camping, horseback riding and even 4WD adventuring.

There are 19 National Parks in the small state of Tasmania. Though the start is small the beauty is immense. Explorers can discover magical landscapes, highlands carved by glaciers, isolated beaches, rainforests and alpine wilderness. Tasmania is a refuge for unique plants and animals which are found nowhere else on Earth.

South Australia is a living exhibit of natural treasures. It has more than 300 parks and reserves which range from remote, rugged coastlines to mountain ranges and desert land.

With its rich red earth, waterfalls and natural bushland, Western Australia is an extraordinary state to visit. This ancient land has produced limestone pillars, views of the sea (an extra special time to be there is when one can witness the migration of humpback whales) as well as freshwater mangroves complete with basking crocodiles.

The Northern Territory boasts two world heritage-listed National Parks, Kakadu and Uluru – Kata Tjuta as well as 50 others. On offer is bushwalking, swimming in waterfalls, Aboriginal cultural tours and even camping under the stars.

Australia has 11 world heritage properties, 5 of these properties can be found in Queensland. The National Parks in the “banana” state are naturally diverse and include lush tropical rainforests as well as the amazing Great Barrier Reef.

And finally, not to be outdone by its surrounding states and territories, Australia’s Capital Territory features waterfalls, gorges, walking trails and nature reserves.
