New South Wales
New South Wales is one of the most environmentally diverse corners of the world. Rainforests, deserts, mangrove swamps, eucalypt  forests, alpine herbfields, coastal heaths, grasslands - you can find these and many other landscapes across this Australian state.
National parks, and other conservation reserves, exist to protect this extraordinary natural diversity. They're also centres of cultural heritage, both for the Aboriginal people who have occupied this land for more than 40,000 years, and for the generations of immigrants who have arrived since colonisation in 1788.
Parks and reserves cover more than six per cent of New South Wales. There are hundreds of them, ranging from massive tracts of wilderness to tiny historic sites. We're gradually improving the information on this web site - check out the expanded park entries to see where we're up to.
