Mount Kaputar National Park

Volcanic national park with high lookouts, walking tracks, basalt cliffs, and rare pink slugs after rain.

Mount Kaputar National Park rises abruptly from the plains east of Narrabri, a remnant of a long-eroded volcano. The summit road and lookouts give wide views over inland NSW, while shorter walks lead to cliffs, forest, and odd volcanic shapes.

The park is big enough for a full day if you like walking. After rain, keep an eye out for the famously strange Mount Kaputar pink slug, one of the park's better local claims to fame.
