Before travelling to Capertee National Park, you must call the National Parks to register your travel to the park and to get the lock code for the entry gate to the park, this information is on there website. We travelled to Capertee National Park, just for a day trip, for bird watching and bird photography 📸 The park is home to a lot of Australian native birds 🐦 The park is extremely large with a lot of trails and tracks to explore. The river and creek locations are great for Spotting birds and wildlife. There is a large camping area beside a creek with a lot of space and area for camping in a very beautiful location. There is also restrooms at the camping area.

Stunning! I beautiful almost untouched paradise! Glen Davis - A beautiful and equipped (Toilets) camping and picnic spot (Semi-Shaded) at the bottom of towering canyons, only 40-45 minutes from Lithgow. I highly recommend if you want a nice place to simply relax and enjoy Nature. 😁
