Ancient lake system protecting rare wetland biodiversity on Sydney's doorstep

Thirlmere Lakes National Park

Thirlmere Lakes National Park is a protected area located in the Macarthur region of New South Wales, approximately 95 kilometres southwest of Sydney's central business district. The park encompasses a rare system of five lakes that formed around 15 million years ago through geological activity that lifted and isolated them from the local river system. These ancient aquatic basins represent an unusual and ecologically significant wetland environment within the Greater Blue Mountains region. The park was gazetted in 1972 as Thirlmere Lakes State Park before being reclassified as a national park, and in 2000 it became part of the UNESCO Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site, making it the smallest and most southeasterly of the eight protected areas within this internationally recognized landscape. The park's unique combination of ancient lake formations, diverse flora and fauna, and proximity to Sydney makes it a distinctive conservation area in eastern Australia.
