The Washpool National Park is a
NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service. It was established in 1983 to preserve the significant plant and animal populations found in the Washpool and Gibraltar Range forests.[1] In 1999 the park was expanded to include areas that had previously been threatened with logging, which a court injunction put to a stop to in 1990.[2]
The Park is part of the Washpool and Gibraltar Range area of the
Australian National Heritage List
in 2007.
This natural habitat is full of diversity of plants, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds.[3]
The average elevation of the terrain is 704 metres.[4] Average summer temperatures range between 14 °C and 26 °C, and winter temperatures between 2 °C and 15 °C.[5]
