Established in 1983, Boonoo Boonoo National Park was created to preserve its natural beauty, including the dramatic waterfalls and lush rainforest. The park is named after the Boonoo Boonoo River, which flows through it, creating the park’s most notable feature—the Boonoo Boonoo Falls.

The car park is well-maintained, with enough space for visitors, and there is no entry fee to access the park. However, visitors are encouraged to follow park rules, such as staying on designated paths to protect the environment. The park is home to a diverse array of wildlife. Visitors may spot eastern grey kangaroos, wallabies, and the elusive platypus in the rivers. Birdwatchers can observe species like the superb lyrebird and the crimson rosella. The park’s wildlife thrives in its varied habitats, from wet rainforest to dry sclerophyll woodlands. Flora in Boonoo Boonoo National Park includes temperate rainforest species such as the giant tree fern and various types of eucalypts. The park is known for its rich vegetation, which supports the diverse wildlife and creates picturesque scenery. Key features of the park include the Boonoo Boonoo Falls, a series of cascading waterfalls that offer spectacular views, especially during and after heavy rains. The park also features walking trails like the Boonoo Boonoo Falls Walk, which leads visitors through scenic landscapes and provides stunning viewpoints.
