There are lots of great things waiting for you in Kalyarr National Park. Here are some of the highlights.

Autumn

Camp at Lachlan River campground in mid-autumn when the days are still long enough to explore the park, and nights are cool and you can enjoy a meal over the campfire. It’s a great time to walk the Kalyarr cultural trail along the river.

Spring

Early spring rains bring masses of wildflowers including wattles, orchids, lilies, pigface and paper daisies. Migratory birds start to return for the summer.

Winter

Higher rainfall and cooler weather make the park greener and lusher than at any other time of year. Warm afternoons are followed by early sunsets and cold, clear nights.
