Budderoo National Park

Budderoo National Park is a 7,219-hectare protected area in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia, situated approximately 99 kilometres south-southwest of Sydney near the coastal city of Wollongong. The park is centered on the elevated sandstone plateaus of the Illawarra escarpment and protects a distinctive mosaic of eucalypt woodland, heathland, and the centerpiece Minnamurra rainforest. This combination of elevated sandstone environments and temperate rainforest makes Budderoo a particularly significant conservation area in New South Wales, representing a rare example of rainforest ecosystem persistence in a region otherwise dominated by drier forest types. The park is managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and has been a protected area since its formal establishment in 1986.
