Overview

Namadgi National Park, including the Visitor Centre, is open and welcoming visitors.

Yankee Hat Rock art site remains closed while the team work with the Ngunnawal people to finalise upgrade plans and designs for the site.

With remote wilderness experiences, a wide range of natural environments, an abundance of native wildlife, and Aboriginal and European cultural sites, there are many reasons to visit Namadgi National Park. Namadgi covers 106,095 hectares, with 160 kilometres of marked walking tracks.

Camping is available at Woods Reserve, Mt Clear and Honeysuckle Campgrounds. The Orroral Valley is now open, however the Orroral Campground will remain closed until further notice while the amenities block is upgraded.

Namadgi National Park is located at the northern end of the Australian Alps, 45 minutes' drive from Canberra city.
