Covering more than 200,000 hectares, Morton National Park is one of New South Wales’ most dramatic and diverse landscapes — and it’s right on the doorstep of Moss Vale Holiday Park. Known for its deep gorges, towering cliffs, and forested valleys, the park is a playground for hikers, photographers, and anyone who loves wild places.
Begin your journey at Fitzroy Falls, the most accessible gateway to the park. From there, explore the East Rim and West Rim trails for spectacular views of the Yarrunga Valley. The park’s walking tracks vary from short, scenic strolls to full-day hikes, so there’s something for every level of adventure.
For a different perspective, drive to Belmore Falls, another stunning cascade within the park. From the lookout, you can see the twin drops plunging into a deep, forested canyon. It’s particularly beautiful in the late afternoon when sunlight catches the spray.
If you’re seeking something quieter, head deeper into the park toward Bundanoon or Pigeon House Mountain, where longer bushwalks take you through untouched rainforest and open heathland. Wildlife is abundant — you might spot wallabies, lyrebirds, and even a goanna basking on a rock.
Local tip: Bring a picnic and take your time — the park has several scenic picnic spots, and its crisp mountain air and peaceful atmosphere make it easy to lose a whole afternoon to nature.
