Best times to visit
There are lots of great things waiting for you in Livingstone National Park and State Conservation Area. Here are some of the highlights.
Autumn
With a milder climate, and the mornings crisp and dewy, autumn is a great time to visit. Bring your camera to capture images of the many iconic animals in the park, such as eastern grey kangaroos and swamp wallabies.
Spring
Spring is a great time to go walking, mountain bike riding, horse riding and 4WD touring through the network of trails when the weather is generally milder. Wildflowers are in full bloom, and the colours are captivating and so is the scent in the air.
Summer
Visit early in the day when it's cooler and take the time to walk through the park's winding trails and appreciate the wonderful plants and animals that call this park home along the way. It's also a great time for birdwatching.
