Macquarie Pass National Park

Some of Australia's most southerly subtropical rainforests grow on this park's rugged sandstone escarpment.

A pleasant 2 km walk to the Cascades Waterfall takes you through rainforest, with interpretive signs along the way giving you information about the park. The walk commences from the carpark at the foot of the pass on the northern side of the Illawarra Highway.

Backpack camping is permitted in the park as long as it is more than 1 km from any public-access road.
