Dharug National Park

Unspoilt national park north of Sydney with over a hundred Aboriginal rock art sites, bushland, and peaceful river walking tracks.

Dharug National Park lies 58 kilometres north of Sydney and takes its name from the Dharug people, one of the oldest cultures in the region, whose descendants have inhabited this land for tens of thousands of years. Established as a protected area in 1967, the park preserves a striking landscape of sandstone escarpments, dense bushland, and river systems including the Hawkesbury, Macdonald, and Mangrove Creek. Over one hundred Aboriginal rock art sites are found throughout the park, offering a rare and direct connection to indigenous life in the region. Walking tracks wind through quiet valleys and along the rivers, far from the noise of the city. For visitors wanting to experience Australia's wild interior beyond the coast, Dharug National Park is a rewarding discovery.
