Mount Imlay National Park

Mount Imlay National Park occupies a striking position in the far southeast of New South Wales, rising prominently above the surrounding coastal plains near the town of Eden. The park is accessed from the Princes Highway, which passes south of Eden, making it a accessible destination for visitors exploring the far south coast region. The landscape is dominated by the mountain itself, a steep-sided peak that rises sharply from the surrounding terrain to an elevation of 886 metres, providing panoramic views across the Bega Valley and toward the Tasman Sea. The park's establishment in 1972 recognized both the natural values of the area and its significance as a landscape of cultural importance to the Bidwell and Yuin peoples, whose traditional connections to Balawan extend deep into the past.
