General
The park is located in the middle of the hills of Narrien range that extends to 13 kilometers in north-south direction. The 759 meters high summit of Mount Campoven wrestled the hills, visible from afar from the surrounding plains out. While the higher, inaccessible areas in the past have remained largely untouched, the surrounding flat lands were cleared and used for livestock. About 90 percent of US-based Brigalow Belt bioregion of North ecosystems have been destroyed since European settlement. The National Park protects six different plant and animal communities of this bioregion, which have been largely preserved in its original state.
