Welcome
Barrington Tops and Foothills
Unspoiled country!
The eastern and southern slopes of the Barrington Tops plateau lead down from lush and pristine forests through rolling farmland to towns that retain the charm of yesteryear. For a brief visit or an extended holiday the Barrington Tops area offers a broad appeal: for those who wish simply to take it easy and enjoy the view, to those who seek the adventure of cascading rivers and primeval wilderness. Come join us for a day or two or a lifetime!
The unique quality of this region is reflected in its listing as a World Heritage Area - the closest such area to Newcastle, and one accessible even to those with limited mobility. Barrington Tops is the habitat of an enormous diversity of plant and animal life being at the northern extremity of the range for many southern Australian species as well as the southernmost extent for many more tropical species.
