Driving there? Car hire and what to check →
Border Ranges National Park covers 31,683 hectares on the rim of the caldera left when the Tweed shield volcano erupted about 23 million years ago, with the Tweed Valley carved about 1,000m below the lookouts. It is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, and NPWS records the highest concentration of marsupial, bird, snake and frog species in Australia here, among Antarctic beech, brushbox, booyong, red cedar and giant hoop pine.
It is Githabul Country — the Githabul People trace their identity and spirituality to this land, and the park protects ancient sites of continuing significance. You meet it by road as much as by track: the 42km Tweed Range Scenic Drive and Brindle Creek Road loop at 40km/h, and the short walk to Pinnacle lookout, where Traditional Owners ask that you watch Wollumbin from the rim rather than climb it.
Go if…
- You want to drive the rim of an ancient volcano and see the whole caldera in a day, with the plug of Wollumbin standing in the valley below
- You are comfortable on gravel roads and want a loop rather than an out-and-back, with a short walk and a picnic area at most stops
- Birdwatching is the point — Albert's lyrebird, pademelons, powerful owls and the rainforest frogs of the Brindle Creek gullies
- You want a night under rainforest canopy at Sheepstation Creek, with walks starting at the campground gate
Skip it if…
- You are towing a caravan or driving a bus — the Tweed Range Scenic Drive is too narrow for both, and they must be left at Sheepstation Creek
- It has been raining hard: NPWS requires 4WD in wet weather, the gravel goes slippery, and the park closes at times for severe weather and fire danger
- You want a multi-day walk carrying everything on your back — the walking here is short day walks plus one 9km one-way link track, and more than three-quarters of the park is managed as wilderness on foot only
- You need phone reception, drinking water or a shop — there is none of the three in the park, and reception is limited at best
What to expect
Reviewed
You come in from Kyogle or Lismore on sealed road — from Kyogle it is 15 minutes north to Wiangaree and then 20 minutes, 16km, along Lynches Creek Road to the park, with unsealed sections before the gate. From the east, Williams Road off Kyogle Road at Lillian Rock has unsealed sections too, and NPWS requires 4WD in wet weather on all of it. What you are driving is a loop: the Tweed Range Scenic Drive and Brindle Creek Road together make 42km of all-weather gravel, and NPWS allows 4 to 5 hours for the driving alone at a 40km/h limit. The Brindle Creek Loop Road is one-way and can only be entered from the Forest Tops end, so you commit to your direction at the start. The road is steep and narrow with no guardrails, and it is too narrow for caravans and buses — leave them at Sheepstation Creek campground, and note that they cannot come in through the eastern entrance at all. Creegans Road, that eastern entrance, has come through weather events before and been left rough and eroded, so check the alerts before you drive any of it.
The payoff arrives at the lookouts. From Pinnacle, 23km along the Tweed Range Scenic Drive from Creegans Road and then a 0.6km return walk, you get uninterrupted sight over World Heritage rainforest and the crater escarpment, with Wollumbin standing at the centre of the Tweed Valley about 1,000m below and the coastline on the far horizon. NPWS nominates sunrise here in summer as the moment the whole caldera shows itself, and the same view works on an ordinary clear afternoon. The escarpment you are standing on is the edge of the caldera — the wall left behind after 23 million years of erosion of the Tweed shield volcano — and the grass trees on the lookout edge frame the drop. Traditional Owners ask that you watch Wollumbin from here rather than climb it, and the lookout is where that instruction makes sense: you see the mountain whole, plug and valley and rim, which is what standing on top never gave you.
The forest closes over you quickly once you leave the rim. Around Sheepstation Creek and along Brindle Creek you walk under buttressed booyong and bangalow palms, past red cedar and brushbox, with Antarctic beech on the cooler upper slopes and giant hoop pines standing clear of the canopy. The Palm Forest walking track runs 1km one-way from Sheepstation Creek to the Brushbox Falls lookout through subtropical rainforest, and the Rosewood loop passes old-growth flooded gum, rosewood and white beech where sugar gliders and powerful owls live. Water is everywhere in these gullies — Sawpit Creek, Brindle Creek, the falls that plunge into deep gorge country — and after rain the spray catches light while the creek surfaces turn white over mossy rock and fallen logs. Keep sunscreen and insect repellent off your skin before you get into any of it: NPWS asks swimmers to do this because both harm the sensitive rainforest frogs that live along these creeks. This wet green interior is why the World Heritage listing runs from here to Dorrigo.
The living things are the show once you stop the car. NPWS records the highest concentration of marsupial, bird, snake and frog species in Australia in this region, and the park holds Assets of Intergenerational Significance — Fleay's barred frog, Loveridge's frog, rufous scrub-bird, eastern bristlebird, border mallee, Wollumbin dogwood and the Border Ranges daisy. Listen for Albert's lyrebird turning leaf litter below the canopy, watch for pademelons at the forest edges near the campgrounds, and check the trunks and branches on warmer mornings. The Brindle Creek gullies are frog country, which is why the swimming etiquette matters; the upper slopes and Bar Mountain hold the beech and the quieter forest birds. Bring binoculars and give it time: the short walks are where the wildlife is, and dawn and dusk around Sheepstation Creek are the productive hours.
Then take the weather seriously. Summer averages 18 to 30°C and the park has recorded 42.9°C, while winter runs 8 to 22°C and has dropped to minus 0.3°C on the exposed rim. February is the wettest month and 321mm has fallen here in a single day; September is the driest. Leeches and paralysis ticks work the wet forest after rain, the gravel roads go slippery enough that NPWS requires 4WD, and the park closes at times for poor weather and fire danger. Check the NPWS alerts page before you leave, download the Emergency Plus app so GPS can find you without signal, and tell someone where you are going.
Where to stay
People camp inside the park at Sheepstation Creek or, in small numbers, at Forest Tops, and otherwise base in Kyogle or in the valley settlements around the park — Gradys Creek, Lillian Rock, Limpinwood.

What to do here
8 walks & sights
Tweed Range Scenic Drive
The signature drive of the Northern Rivers: a gravel loop along the rim of the Tweed Volcano caldera through subtropical, cool temperate and warm temperate rainforest, with lookouts and picnic areas strung along it. NPWS allows 4 to 5 hours for the driving alone at a 40km/h limit, so treat it as a day rather than a detour. The Brindle Creek Loop Road section is one-way and can only be entered from the Forest Tops end. The road is steep and narrow with no guardrails, and too narrow for caravans and buses, which must be left at Sheepstation Creek.
Pinnacle walk and lookout
The view NPWS sends people here for: uninterrupted sight over World Heritage rainforest and the crater escarpment, with Wollumbin at the centre of the Tweed Valley about 1,000m below and the coast on the horizon. The access road is well-maintained gravel but can be rough or slippery after heavy rain between December and May. NPWS grades the walk itself 2 with no experience needed, though its access page rates accessibility as hard. Traditional Owners ask that you watch the mountain from here rather than climb it.
Palm Forest walking track to Brushbox Falls lookout
The easiest way into the rainforest from camp: a one-way walk from Sheepstation Creek through subtropical forest to a lookout over Brushbox Falls. It is the walk NPWS points to for a first taste of the park, and a chance of a paradise riflebird in the canopy. Start it as an out-and-back from the campground, or pair it with the Rosewood loop.
Rosewood loop
A half-day loop through old-growth flooded gum, rosewood and white beech, with sugar gliders and powerful owls in the taller timber. It leaves from the same trailhead as the Palm Forest track, so both fit a morning at Sheepstation Creek. The forest here is wet and the ground uneven, so allow longer than the distance suggests after rain.
Sheepstation Creek campground
The in-park base, set in rainforest on Sheepstation Creek with walks leaving from the gate. It takes tents, camper trailers and caravans, and six sites plus the top tent area have step-free concrete and gravel paths with accessible toilets and raised walkways. Book online for up to 20 people or 5 sites, bring your own firewood and drinking water, and carry out all rubbish — there are no bins.
Border Loop walk and lookout
A gentle loop at the southern end of the park, looking over the Gradys Creek valley and the historic spiral railway line — NPWS names autumn as the season for a picnic here. The carpark is bitumen-sealed, and the trailhead sits 19km from Summerland Way via Gradys Creek Road or 35km from the Mount Lindesay Highway at Rathdowney. The track surface is a 1m-wide hard-packed natural surface with timber bridges that narrow to 0.5m at pinch points.
Falcorostrum loop, Bar Mountain picnic area
A short circuit that begins and ends at the Bar Mountain picnic area in the eastern precinct, with parking on the unsealed gravel of Bar Mountain Road. NPWS grades it 3 but requires no experience, and it is the quickest way to stand inside the rainforest at the top of the range. From Murwillumbah it is reached via Kyogle Road, Williams Road and Creegans Road, then 7.5km along the Tweed Range Scenic Drive.
Booyong walking track
The longest walk in the park, linking the two campgrounds through rainforest across the range. It is one-way, so leave a car at Forest Tops or arrange a pickup before you set out — NPWS suggests 5 to 6 hours and warns that the return trip is your own problem. This is the walk to save for a clear, dry day when you have the whole morning and afternoon.
Border Ranges National Park itineraries: 1, 2 or 3 days
3 plans
One day: the rim loop and Pinnacle lookout
- Morning. Drive in from Kyogle — 15 minutes north to Wiangaree on Summerland Way, then 20 minutes and 16km along Lynches Creek Road into the park — and enter from the western end so you meet the one-way Brindle Creek Loop Road at the only end it can be entered from, the Forest Tops end. Pay the $8 per vehicle per day entry at the park, then start the Tweed Range Scenic Drive at 40km/h with the rainforest closing over the road.
- Midday. Stop at the Bar Mountain picnic area and walk the Falcorostrum loop, 0.65km and 15 to 30 minutes, then continue the 23km of the Tweed Range Scenic Drive from Creegans Road to the Pinnacle walk. The walk out to the lookout is 0.6km return and 30 to 45 minutes, and it is where you see Wollumbin standing in the Tweed Valley about 1,000m below.
- Afternoon. Finish the loop rather than turning back — NPWS allows 4 to 5 hours for the 42km of driving alone — and be off the gravel before dark. Carry your own drinking water for the day and treat any side road you have not researched as unsealed.
No nights. The base is Kyogle, about 40 minutes south, or Lismore, about 1.5 hours away via Summerland Way; entry is $8 per vehicle per day and the walks are free once you are in. Fuel up in Kyogle, Nimbin, Woodenbong or Rathdowney before you enter, carry in all the drinking water you need, and know that NPWS requires 4WD in wet weather and that caravans and buses cannot use the loop road at all.
Two days: camp at Sheepstation Creek and walk the forest
- Day 1. As for the one-day plan: the rim loop from the Forest Tops end, the Falcorostrum loop at Bar Mountain and the 0.6km return walk to Pinnacle lookout, then drop down to Sheepstation Creek campground for the night rather than driving out.
- Day 2, morning. Walk from the campground itself. The Palm Forest walking track runs 1km one-way to the Brushbox Falls lookout in 30 minutes to an hour, and the Rosewood loop leaves from the same place — 6km and 1.5 to 2 hours through old-growth flooded gum, rosewood and white beech.
- Day 2, afternoon. Pack up and drive out via the Border Loop lookout and picnic area near Cougal if you are leaving toward Lions Road: the 1.5km loop walk takes 15 to 45 minutes and looks over the Gradys Creek valley and the historic spiral railway line. There are toilets, picnic tables and barbecues there, so it works as the last stop before the sealed road.
One night at Sheepstation Creek campground, which has 25 campsites with tents, camper trailers and caravans catered for, or at Forest Tops, which has 3 tent-only campsites. Entry is $8 per vehicle per day on top of the camping fee, and NPWS does not publish per-night camping rates on its campground pages, so book online for up to 20 people or 5 sites and expect the price at booking. Carry drinking water — the Sheepstation Creek water is not suitable for drinking — bring your own firewood, and carry out every scrap of rubbish because there are no bins.
Three days: add the Booyong link
- Day 1 and Day 2. As for the two-day plan: the rim loop and Pinnacle lookout on day one, the Palm Forest track to Brushbox Falls and the Rosewood loop on day two — but hold the second night at Sheepstation Creek instead of driving out.
- Day 3, morning. Walk the Booyong track from Sheepstation Creek toward Forest Tops: 9km one-way, 5 to 6 hours and Grade 3, the longest walk in the park and the one that stitches the two campgrounds together. The track is one-way, so leave a car at Forest Tops or arrange a pickup before you start.
- Day 3, afternoon. Come out at the Forest Tops end and finish the drive on the western side of the loop, with the last of the rainforest and the escarpment lookouts between you and the sealed road back to Kyogle.
Two nights at Sheepstation Creek campground, 25 campsites, booked online for up to 20 people or 5 sites, with the $8 per vehicle per day entry paid on top of the camping fee. This plan names the Booyong track, the Palm Forest track and the Rosewood loop rather than adding their distances together, and the Booyong track is one-way so the car shuffle is the part to organise first. Water at Sheepstation Creek is not suitable for drinking, there is no fuel or shop in the park, and NPWS requires 4WD on the park roads in wet weather.
Suggested gear for Border Ranges National Park
18 items
- Water bottles or a hydration bladder Carry at least 2 litres per person on the walks.
- Water treatment tablets or a filter Treat creek and camping-area water before drinking.
- Sun hat, sunscreen (SPF 50+) and sunglasses
- Sturdy, broken-in walking shoes or boots
- Day pack (20–30 L)
- First aid kit, including blister care
- Insect repellent
- Head torch with spare batteries
- Lightweight rain jacket
- Personal locator beacon Mobile coverage is unreliable in remote parks.
- Gaiters or long leech socks Leeches and paralysis ticks are part of the wet forest here, and the gullies along Brindle Creek and Sheepstation Creek stay damp under canopy between storms.
- All the drinking water you need NPWS states the Sheepstation Creek water is not suitable for drinking and there are no shops or taps anywhere in the park.
- A warm layer, even in a summer you chose for sunrise Winter averages 8 to 22°C on the rim and the park has recorded minus 0.3°C, and the exposed lookouts run far colder than the valley.
- A dry bag or pack liner February is the wettest month and 321mm has fallen in a single day here; subtropical storms arrive quickly and there is nowhere in the park to dry gear.
- Binoculars Albert's lyrebird, powerful owls, sugar gliders and the rainforest birds of the canopy reward a slow look, and the caldera views are measured in kilometres.
- Offline maps and the Emergency Plus app, downloaded before Kyogle Mobile reception in the park is limited, and NPWS asks visitors to have the app so GPS can locate them without signal.
- Your own firewood and a rope NPWS lists firewood and rope as bring-your-own for Sheepstation Creek and Forest Tops, and the barbecues are wood-fired with nothing supplied.
- A heavy-duty rubbish bag There are no bins in the park and NPWS requires you to carry out everything you bring in, including food scraps.
How this compares
Border Ranges National Park vs Wollumbin National Park
Wollumbin National Park holds the 1,157m plug at the centre of the caldera you look into from Pinnacle lookout, with sealed road access and short rainforest walks at the mountain's foot. Its summit and summit track are closed at the request of Bundjalung custodians, so the visit is the valley floor, the Lyrebird track and the picnic areas. Choose Wollumbin for a short sealed-road rainforest visit and the story of the mountain; choose Border Ranges for the gravel rim drive and the full caldera view.
- Difficulty
- 2 of 5 — Moderate
- Access
- Sealed road from Murwillumbah; free entry
- Best for
- Rainforest walks · birdwatching · views of the volcano plug
Border Ranges National Park vs Springbrook National Park
Springbrook National Park sits on the Queensland side of the same caldera rim, with sealed access from the Gold Coast hinterland, waterfall walks and lookouts back across the Tweed Valley. It is the easier park to reach and the easier one to do in any weather. Choose Springbrook for waterfall walks and all-weather access; choose Border Ranges for the gravel loop road, Antarctic beech and a night at Sheepstation Creek.
- Difficulty

Border Ranges National Park vs Lamington National Park
Lamington National Park lies on the western rim of the same caldera in the Scenic Rim, with high rainforest and walking tracks that fill several days rather than several hours. It asks for a bigger commitment in both distance and walking. Choose Lamington for high rainforest walking and an overnight mountain stay; choose Border Ranges for a one-day gravel rim drive and quiet forest camping.

Before you go
- Entry is $8 per vehicle per day including motorbikes, and walkers and cyclists enter free; the All Parks Pass at $190 for one year covers entry to every NSW park, but no annual pass covers camping fees
- Book Sheepstation Creek or Forest Tops online — up to 20 people or 5 sites — and send a group booking enquiry for more; camping fees are charged on top of the entry fee and NPWS does not publish per-night rates
- Fill up before you enter: there is no fuel and no shop in the park, and the last fuel is at Kyogle, Nimbin, Woodenbong or Rathdowney
- Caravans and buses cannot use the Tweed Range Scenic Drive because it is too narrow, must be left at Sheepstation Creek campground, and cannot enter via the eastern entrance at all
- NPWS requires 4WD in wet weather: the gravel goes slippery, and the Creegans Road entrance has been left rough and eroded by weather events before — check the NPWS alerts page before you drive in
- The Brindle Creek Loop Road is one-way and can only be entered from the Forest Tops end; the speed limit across the park is 40km/h and there are no guardrails on the rim roads
- Carry all your drinking water — the Sheepstation Creek water is not suitable for drinking — and bring firewood, cooking water and a rope; there are no bins anywhere, so everything you bring in goes back out
- Mobile reception is limited, so download the Emergency Plus app before you lose signal, tell someone your plans, and observe fire bans and any park closures for fire danger or severe weather
When to go
seasons & the hard months
September to November and March to May give you the park at its most workable. September is the driest month of the year here, spring is NPWS's nominated season for family camping at Sheepstation Creek, and autumn is when the authority sends people to the Border Loop lookout with a picnic. The rim sits at about 1,000m above the valley in places and holds its own weather, so the clear mornings of the drier months are when the Pinnacle view is most likely to show you Wollumbin and the coast in the same frame. Winter works well for the drive itself — NPWS calls the Tweed Range Scenic Drive a cool-condition outing, and winter days average 8 to 22°C — but the nights on the rim have dropped to minus 0.3°C, so campers need real bedding.
December to February is hot, humid and wet. Summer averages 18 to 30°C and the park has recorded 42.9°C, February is the wettest month with 321mm in a single day on record, and the afternoon storms that follow are exactly when NPWS requires 4WD and the gravel sections become slippery or impassable in a standard vehicle. Leeches and paralysis ticks are part of the wet forest in these months. If summer is when you can come, use it for the official highlight — sunrise from Pinnacle lookout over the crater escarpment — drive the loop early, and keep an eye on the sky and the alerts page.
Questions

Not in dry weather: the park roads are 2WD accessible when it is fine, and Sheepstation Creek is listed as all-weather 2WD access. NPWS requires 4WD in wet weather, the gravel goes slippery after rain, and some sections have been left rough and eroded by past weather events, so check the alerts page and treat a wet forecast as a reason to postpone.
Yes — $8 per vehicle per day, including motorbikes; walkers and cyclists enter free. The All Parks Pass ($190 for one year) and Multi Parks Pass ($65 for one year) cover entry but not camping fees, and camping at Sheepstation Creek or Forest Tops is charged separately.
Not onto the Tweed Range Scenic Drive — NPWS states it is too narrow for caravans and buses. They must be left at Sheepstation Creek campground, and they cannot use the eastern entrance at all. Camper trailers and caravans do fit the Sheepstation Creek sites, so base there and explore the loop in the car.
Sheepstation Creek campground (25 campsites, tents, camper trailers and caravans) or Forest Tops campground (3 tent-only sites). Book online for up to 20 people or 5 sites, with a group booking enquiry for more. NPWS publishes no booking window and no per-night rate on the campground pages, and park entry fees are extra.
Pinnacle walk at 0.6km return for the caldera view, the Falcorostrum loop at 0.65km from Bar Mountain picnic area, the Border Loop walk at 1.5km near Cougal, and the Palm Forest walking track at 1km one-way from Sheepstation Creek to Brushbox Falls lookout. If you want a full day, the Rosewood loop is 6km and the Booyong track is 9km one-way between the two campgrounds.
No. Wollumbin's summit track and summit are closed at the request of Bundjalung custodians, and Traditional Owners ask that visitors watch the mountain instead of climbing it. Pinnacle lookout in this park is the place NPWS nominates for exactly that.
