At the heart of a region renowned for its physical beauty, Lismore is on the doorstep of some of Australia’s most significant World Heritage–listed reserves, spectacular National Parks and State Forests.

These natural treasures include Mt Warning National Park surrounding the caldera of the ancient volcano, the Border Ranges and Nightcap National Parks and the last eleven remnants of “The Big Scrub”, the vast rainforest which once blanketed much of the region.

The rainforests around Lismore are some of the region’s most popular attractions. Visitors can experience, first hand, Mother Nature’s wonders at the many idyllic camping and picnic spots scattered throughout the National Parks and reserves.

A network of bushwalking trails throughout the parks offer everything from gentle ten minute strolls to two–day hiking adventures.

Just over 100 years ago a vast and almost unbroken lowland rainforest covered 75,000 hectares of northern NSW in the area where you'll now find the towns of Lismore, Ballina, Byron Bay and Mullumbimby. This was the 'Big Scrub', possibly the largest area of tall subtropical rainforest on the east coast.
