About BARRINGTON TOPS

Barrington Tops is a world heritage area 0nly 2½ hours from so Sydney Barrington Tops is a comfortable drive for a weekend escape.

The unique quality of this region is reflected in its listing as a World Heritage Area - the closest such area to Newcastle, and also accessible to those with limited mobility. Barrington Tops is the habitat of an enormous diversity of plant and animal life being at the northern extremity of the range for many southern Australian species as well as the southernmost extent for many more tropical species. More than fifty plants and animals of the Barringtons are listed as rare, threatened or endangered.

The first stage of the Barrington Tops National Park was dedicated in 1969 with additions being made in 1982. The park gained World Heritage Listing in 1986 and, more recently, much of the area has been declared Wilderness. The pure quality of their water and their special aesthetic beauty have enabled Boonabilla Creek and the Paterson, Williams, Chichester and Wangat rivers to be classified as Wild Rivers.

A series of excellent walks begin at the end of Gloucester Tops Road. (For the intrepid bushwalker, Gloucester Tops is the start for a comprehensive three-day walk across 'the Tops'. After reaching Carey's Peak via the Link Trail, a return walk to Mount Barrington can be included before descending to Lagoon Pinch from Carey's Peak.) The Antarctic beech forest walk can be completed as a short loop walk among the giant beech trees, or as a longer walk following a lively mountain stream. The short walk is suitable for just about any walker of any age.
