Nangar National Park, N.S.W.

Stark contrast to recent rainforest posts, now it's inland N.S.W., 40 klms from Forbes.  For me, it was a journey six hours from home to meet up with a small group of very keen birders, in early May. Getting out into the great outdoors, listening and watching out together, was a top opportunity.   To try and see birds is priority, but to also use my camera to record what else there is to see, even if that doesn't include birds, is good by me.  If there ARE birds in line of sight, then that's a plus!

Signage read "the first inhabitants of these rugged hills were the Wiradjuri Aboriginal people, whose nation stretched over a large part of western New South Wales from the Great Divide to the Darling River".

Here was obviously d-r-y.  Cyprus pines at the top (a little Van Gough?)

      This national park has expanded to 9196 hectares (22,723 acres), from when it originated, in 1983.
