National Parks and Wildlife Service logoHighlights: From the Cunnawarra Range to the Georges River valley, this park links the snow gum high country of New England National Park with the ranges of Oxley Wild Rivers National Park.

Activities: Beech Lookout (on the Styx Forest Way) overlooks ancient Antarctic beech rainforest at the headwaters of the Georges Creek. White gums in the surrounding forests are some of the tallest trees in the state. Nearby Wattle Flat and Georges Junction provide campsites, and a good base to enjoy quiet forest drives through remote ranges.

Access: 70 km south-west of Dorrigo, 70 km east of Armidale. The Styx Forest Way, off the Waterfall Way, loops through the park via Point Lookout Road and the Wollomombi-Kempsey road (unpaved roads).
