The park features waterfalls that plunge from the plateau. Giant grass trees and open forest with stands of snow gums shelter gliders, wallabies, eagles and owls.
It is home to one of the largest populations of greater gliders in Australia.[1]
Camping and walking are the main recreational activities performed here.[2] Views from the tops are possible over the Liverpool Plains.
The sources of the Talbragar River and the Coolaburragundy River lie in the park.
The park is managed consistent with a statutory plan of management[3] adopted in 2003.
