Mount Brogden Walking Track (4.5km)

With its dramatic scenic views, Cocoparra National Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, just a half hour drive from Griffith in the Riverina. Step inside the park and be greeted by the vastness of the outback sky, painted with the silhouette of the rugged Cocoparra Range. This dramatic landscape offers a vibrant escape, whether you're a keen bushwalker, an avid birdwatcher, or simply a nature lover.

The landscape comes alive throughout the seasons. Visit after rain to witness the waterfalls and creeks cascading through the valleys, like Jacks Creek with its impressive gorge. Spring brings a burst of color with blooming wildflowers – orchids, wattles, and tea trees paint the land in vivid hues. Keep an eye out for the majestic peregrine falcons nesting during this time, or watch the rainbow bee-eaters, a dazzling spectacle of color, building their homes in the ground.

For breathtaking panoramic views, take a walk along the range. The Jacks Creek and Mount Brogden walking tracks lead you up to the ridgeline, offering stunning views of the vast plains and unique geological formations. Explore the hidden gems like Falcon Falls, cascading down a sheer cliff, or Woolshed Falls, a picturesque spot for a picnic. Explore interesting rock formations on Store Creek walking track. For a truly immersive experience, consider a night of bush camping. Under a blanket of stars, Cocoparra National Park offers an incredibly peaceful escape.
