About Warrumbungle National Park

The park was founded as a reserve in 1953, and in 2006, it was added to the list of National Heritage. Much of the park was destroyed by fire in early 2013 but it has much recovered since then. The national park is based on the geographical Warrumbungle Mountain Range, often shortened to "the Warrumbungles", and thus the park name is often heard in the plural. The park lies within the Pilliga Important Bird Area, so identified by BirdLife International because of its importance for a range of woodland bird species, many of which are threatened. Other types of fauna include the typical Eastern Australian fauna.
