Warrumbungle
National
Park
550km
west
of Sydney,
has
few
peers
for
camping
and
day
walks.
Rocky
spires,
barren
of vegetation,
left
over
from
volcanos
some
16 million
years
ago,
are
burnt
red
and
gold
by the
setting
sun.
At sunset,
when
the
colours
darken
and
the
sounds
of the
bush
cease,
the
park
offers
the
peace
and
serenity
only
found
in away-from-it-all
places
where
no phones
ring,
no trucks
rumble
by,
and
no computer
keys
beckon.
Mount
Kaputar
National
Park
Located
53km
east
of Narrabri
this
park
features
a peak
on a
receding
edge
, the
remnents
of an
18 million
year
old
volcano,
the
slopes
of which
are
covered
with
open
forest
and
savannah
woodland.
The
park
is a
popular
place
for
rockclimbers
and
has
some
great
short
wilderness
walks.
Camping
is permitted
at Dawsons
Spring
or the
Bark
Hut.
