Dharug National Park

Explore the World Heritage-listed Old Great North Road. Whether you go camping, mountain biking or canoeing at Dharug National Park near Wisemans Ferry, northwest of Sydney, you’ll have a day to remember. 

Dharug National Park covers rugged bushland just north of the Hawkesbury river, with dramatic sandstone cliffs and a variety of natural habitats.

Take a walk, cycle or guided tour into history along the Old Great North Road - World Heritage walk; built by up to 720 convicts between 1826 and 1836.

Take a canoe or kayak out to explore the Hawkesbury river or camp out under the stars at Mill creek or Ten Mile Hollow campground. An outdoor lover’s dream. 

The park is bursting with bird and animal life, you’re likely to see gang-gang cockatoos, satin bowerbirds and green catbirds on the mountain slopes and, if you’re camping overnight, be sure to take a torch to look for yellow-bellied and greater gliders and sugar gliders. If you can’t see the yellow-bellied glider, you may well hear their loud shrieking and gurgling calls.
