View from The Governor
(Corrunbral Borawah)

Located in northern New South Wales, 570 km northwest of Sydney and 52 km east of Narrabri, Mount Kaputar National Park comprises much of the Nandewar Range, and includes Ningadhun, Yulludunida Cliffs, Yulludunida Crater, Kaputar Plateau, Sawn Rocks, Waa Gorge Mt Lindesay, Mt Dowe and much more.

Mt Kaputar is a place of contrasts with the high peaks subject to sub-zero temperatures, frost and snow in winter and patches of rainforest flourishing in the lower areas. There is a mix of fig trees, lilly pillies and tangled rainforest vines, alongside snow gums, snow grass and alpine daisies.

Perched on the edge of the Western Plains and surrounded by farm land, Mt Kaputar is an island sanctuary for a wide range of plants and animals. In recognition of this natural environment, the vast majority of this Park (80%) has been declared Wilderness Area.
 

Herbfield at Eckfords Lookout,
southern face of Mount Dowe

There are many walks and trails, plus areas for picnickers and campers, including cabins that can be booked through the National Parks & Wildlife Service.

Here we have a picture of the open herbfield at Eckfords Lookout. It acts as a soak for the water running off the southern face of Mount Dowe, and saturating the thin soil.

The Governor (Corrunbral Borawah) is an easy 2 km walk, that takes you to the top of a spectacular remnant of a lava flow, with breath-taking views in all direction.
