Willandra National Park

Willandra National Park

726 km west of Sydney, 64 km north-west of Hillston

The vast grass and saltbush plains of Willandra National Park are broken by watercourses lined with black box and lignum, while quiet billabongs are only disturbed by the calls of waterbirds.

The Willandra billabong that “flows backwards” meanders through the old Willandra Station with its dilapidated homestead and willow-lined lagoon.

The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife purchased the land (19,386 hectares) to become one of the first national parks in the riverine plain of central western NSW.
