Poplar Flat Camping Area

Set up camp at this popular spot and the soothing sounds of the forest will help you relax and unwind. At dusk, listen to the gentle symphony of bell miners as you settle into your camp chair around the fire. Keep an eye on the forest fringes and you might see red-necked pademelons feeding on the grass.

Once night falls, head out into the nearby forest and spotlight for frogs, phascogales, bats, pademelons, wallabies, bandicoots, possums, and gliders.

During the day, explore the nearby walks and picnic areas, or stroll along Dalrymple Creek. In spring and summer, you’ll hear the harsh and loud ‘wark-wark-wark” call of great barred frogs.

This park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, famed for its ongoing geological processes, evolutionary history, and diversity (especially of rare, threatened, and endemic species).
