Dharug National Park

Explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Great North Road. Whether you go hiking, camping, mountain biking or canoeing at Dharug National Park on the Central Coast, near the townships of Spencer and Wisemans Ferry, northwest of Sydney, you’ll have a day to remember. 

Dharug National Park covers rugged bushland just north of the Hawkesbury river, with dramatic sandstone cliffs and a variety of natural habitats.

Take a walk, cycle or guided tour into history along the Old Great North Road - World Heritage walk; built by up to 720 convicts between 1826 and 1836, and traversing Aboriginal routes within Dharug country.

Take a canoe or kayak out to explore the Hawkesbury river, or camp out under the stars at Mill Creek campground (book your spot ahead with National Parks and Wildlife Services) or Ten Mile Hollow campground (this campground is walk in or mountain bike in only; you can't drive there). A wild outdoor lover’s dream. 

Dharug National Park is bursting with bird and animal life, you’re likely to see gang-gang cockatoos, satin bowerbirds and green catbirds on the mountain slopes and, if you’re camping overnight, be sure to take a torch to look for yellow-bellied and greater gliders and sugar gliders. If you can’t see the yellow-bellied glider, you may well hear their loud shrieking and gurgling calls.
