Coolah Tops National Park in New South Wales, Australia is a magic place.
This not so well known park is situated where the Warrumbungle Range meets the Great Dividing Range and has beautiful lookouts, pretty waterfalls, heaps of wildlife and last, but not least, the amazing Grasstree forest.
The park lies east of the sleepy country town of Coolah.
Our thanks go to Peter Smith who used to run the Barringun Roadhouse (anybody knows where to find him?) and took us there very early in 1995 when it was still a state forest; this was our very first ‘Australian bush’ experience and started the ball rolling …

We spent last Christmas camping there among the Kangaroos and had a great time!

The Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby (scientific name: Petrogale penicillata) is one of the inhabitants on the Great Dividing Range of Australia. It is very agile and lacks any fear of heights, living on steep cliffs.
A good spot to look for them is Chaelundi Bluff (or Lucifer’s Thumb) in Guy Fawkes River National Park in New South Wales Australia. That is were the fellow below was photographed.
