Jindalee National Park

Jindalee National Park is a protected national park located in New South Wales, Australia.

It was initially declared a forest reserve in 1877 and later reclassified as a state forest in 1918. The park is divided into two sections and offers undulating terrain for recreational activities. All existing roads within the park are accessible for registered vehicles, but their use is limited to formed pathways.

Jindalee National Park is home to various vegetation communities, including Mugga Ironbark-mixed box woodland and Mugga Ironbark-Western Grey Box-Cypress Pine woodland. It also has a small area designated as a Critically Endangered ecological community. The park is known for its rare pine donkey orchids, categorized as Vulnerable under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.

The park is a habitat for threatened bird species like Swift parrots, Regent honeyeaters, and Turquoise parrots. It also supports threatened mammal species such as squirrel gliders and eastern pygmy possums. Illegal firewood collection and off-road vehicle use are significant threats to the park. Visitors are urged to follow park rules and regulations to help protect its natural environment.

Jindalee National Park offers a serene and inviting environment for nature enthusiasts and adventurers. It provides an opportunity to observe Australia's wildlife in their natural habitat.
