  • Gibraltar Range Parks and Reserves
    GIBRALTAR RANGE GROUP OF PARKS (Incorporating Barool, Capoompeta, Gibraltar Range, Nymboida and Washpool National Parks and Nymboida and Washpool State Conservation Areas) PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Part of the Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW) February 2005 This plan of management was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 8 February 2005. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This draft plan of management was prepared by the Northern Directorate Planning Group with assistance from staff of the Glen Innes East and Clarence South Areas of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The contributions of the Northern Tablelands and North Coast Regional Advisory Committees are greatly appreciated. Cover photograph: Coombadjha Creek, Washpool National Park. © Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW) 2005: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment. ISBN 0 7313 6861 4 i FOREWORD The Gibraltar Range Group of Parks includes Barool, Capoompeta, Gibraltar Range, Nymboida and Washpool National Parks and Nymboida and Washpool State Conservation Areas. These five national parks and two state conservation areas are located on the Gibraltar Range half way between Glen Innes and Grafton, and are transected by the Gwydir Highway. They are considered together in this plan because they are largely contiguous and have similar management issues. The Gibraltar Range Group of Parks encompasses some of the most diverse and least disturbed forested country in New South Wales. The Parks contain a stunning landscape of granite boulders, expansive rainforests, tall trees, steep gorges, clear waters and magnificent scenery over wilderness forests. Approximately one third of the area is included on the World Heritage list as part of the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia (CERRA).
