Goonengerry National Park is one of several national parks in the “Tweed Caldera”, part of the ancient Mount Warning volcano in far north New South Wales. Parts of this area form the “Nightcap Range Important Bird Area”, designated because of the population of Albert’s Lyrebirds, Pale-yellow Robins, Paradise Riflebirds, Green Catbirds, Regent Bowerbirds and Australian Logrunners.
Goonengerry Falls plunge into an enormous gorge.
The Varied Sittella is an infrequent visitor to the park which falls on the boundary of the ranges of the Orange-winged and White-headed sub-species. As the name Varied Sittella suggests there are many variations in the appearance of this species.
Two sociable park inhabitants; the Eastern Yellow Robin and Grey Fantail.
