About New England National Park
In the 1920s there was a push to have this area declared a national park. Much of the area was declared a reserve in 1931, dedicated for public recreation in 1935 before becoming a national park in 1937. Between 1934 and 1956 mining leases for antimony were granted. While officially opened by Governor General Lord Gowrie in 1937 the wilderness area was recognised for its beauty as early as the 1920s. The park was World Heritage listed in 1986 and forms part of the New England Group of theGondwana Rainforests of Australia, which was added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007. Located on the precipitous escarpment east of the undulating Northern Tablelands plateau, the wilderness consists of impressive cliffs, rugged ridges, spurs and streams.
