Dharug National Park

Dharug National Park is a protected area in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, situated approximately 81 kilometres north of Sydney and 25 kilometres west of Gosford. The 14,850-hectare park lies within the Sydney Basin, a major geological region of Permian and Triassic sedimentary rocks dating from 270 to 180 million years ago. The park occupies the northern margin of the Hornsby Plateau, featuring rolling forested terrain, valleys, and ridgelines that form part of a virtually contiguous chain of protected areas stretching from the Hunter Region in the north to the Hills District in the south. The park is bounded by Yengo National Park, McPherson State Forest, and the Mangrove Creek corridor, creating a significant protected landscape in the Sydney metropolitan area's hinterland. Dharug National Park holds exceptional significance as a cultural landscape, containing portions of one of Australia's earliest and most important colonial-era road systems.
