Mga tip mula sa mga tagaroon
27 km west of Coonabarabran is Warrumbungle National Park, one of the state's most popular parks. It is easily accessible, has good facilities and provides excellent opportunities for family recreation. The Warrumbungle Range is a 130-km spur of the Great Dividing Range. Of volcanic origin there are some striking formations made of trachyte - a fast-drying lava which plugs volcanic craters and remains after the softer surrounding cones have eroded, leaving some remarkable ridges, spires and domes; the best-known being the Breadknife, 90 m high and one metre thick. Splendid wildflowers bloom in spring and early summer. There are 180 species of birds and plenty of other fauna, including koalas and kangaroos. Soon after you enter the park there is a signposted parking area to the left at the start of the short walking track to the outstanding Whitegum Lookout (1.1 km return). In all there are 30 km of walking tracks of varying lengths, qualities and grades of difficulty. They are outlined in material available from the visitors' centre in the park or at Coonabarabran. 8 km west of the lookout is the visitors' centre which has information relating to the park's lay-out, natural features and accommodation. Fees for all visitors are payable here. It is open from 8.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. daily, tel: (02) 6825 4364 . Canyon Camp is a day-use picnic area with free electric barbecues. The discovery program operates throughout the year, particularly in school holidays. It includes ranger-guided walks and activities, Aboriginal cultural walks, children's activities and information and slide evenings.
