| One of the newest National Parks in Western NSW, Paroo-Darling National Park is fast becoming known for its mound springs and continually changing Peery Lake, cycling as it does through flood and drought and back again. Once filled, the lake can hold water for three years. The result is a spectacular inland playground for up to 50 000 water birds each day. A day use area is being established at Peery Lake.
The park also offers access to an ancient world: a landscape of red sand hills and grey cracking clays on the Darling River floodplains.
A rich, living Aboriginal heritage is protected here and evidence abounds of a lifestyle spanning back many thousands of years in the stone tool scatters, hearth sites and scar trees. |

The Visitor Centre at White Cliffs is the best place to begin a visit to Paroo-Darling National Park. Take your time and learn more about the local people, places, and life. Located at a key crossroad in White Cliffs, our clean, green building is solar powered and energy efficient to minimise its impact on the surrounding area.
Camping is available at the Coach and Horses campground at Wilga. Enjoy an authentic bush camping experience, beside the river that once enticed early settlers and brought the river boats here. You'll need to bring your own fresh water, we provide gas BBQs, pit toilets and the night sky. No wood fires are allowed in Paroo-Darling National Park. Camping fees apply. A self registration system allows for payment of fees.
