Dharawal National Park

A new and raw park. The efforts made to preserve flora and fauna are obvious, The tracks on Google do not correspond with the actual tracks. Due to the proximity of a coal mine, tracks are regularly slashed to maintain safe passage for fire fighting vehicles and to provide limited fire breaks. Nonetheless if you enjoy wild flowers, many surprises wait for you.

This place is absolutely stunning. The hike is beginner friendly but there are many other different tracks to take if you feel like a challenge. The Minerva Pools are beautiful and the colour of the water is so vibrant. There’s a lookout up above the pool so you can see it from up high. This is definitely worth seeing!

We went to the O'Hares lookout. What a lovely location. We took our two little ones for a "Bush walk". 2.4k return to the lookout, all along a sealed track. The kids rode their bikes (slight uphill out, mostly downhill back). We had a picnic lunch on the ground at the lookout.

Quiet, clean, well maintained, and just lovely.

Incredible hike from Stanwell Tops to Austinmer (approx 16km and 5 hours). Well maintained pathways and gorgeous scenes throughout. Terrain varies but for the most part is moderately flat (some steep sections but not so steep it becomes stairs). Would be great for fit adults and children.

Please understand that the Minerva pools are for Aboriginal Women only. Do not disrespect our culture please.
There are other beautiful spots to swim and photograph.
Jingga pools etc.
Dharawal is the nation that goes from Nowra up to campbelltown areas and over to botany Bay area. It has quite a few different mobs like Gweagal etc
Please respect this. Womens business means women only it is a historical pool for women's business which includes birthing separate from men.

Very picturesque views from the lookout. A number of well signed trail walking tracks of various difficulties. Good variety of flora to view on the walks.

Fantastic park! Was very easy walk and well laid. Lovely family friendly place.

Arrived nice and early to beat the hordes. Plenty of parking but sadly no EV chargers. We took the 2.4 km Minerva Pools Track. Such a tranquil and spiritual site. Minerva pool is a sacred to the Dharawal People where only women and children can enter the water. Happy hiking #nodogsplease 🌺

Glorious spot with an important indigenous history. Wonderful walks and swimming holes. Be mindful to be respectful of the cultural sensitivities

Beautiful place to take the family little bit of a walk for the young ones but is and easy walk ... the only thing that I was disappointed about was the aboriginal culture sign says only woman and children to enter the waters I found about 8 males swiming in the water I was very disappointed

Best to go during the week in the morning, not weekends. It's basically your own during week days

The entrance from behind Wedderburn is awesome, it's got a small carpark and toilets at the beginning of the trail. The trails are easy to navigate and the whole area is beautiful. Don't miss O'Hares lookout!

What a treasure to find! Dharawal Nation Park is a must see! There is so much beauty to explore and soak up.

It's a beautiful place! My favourite!

This place is absolutely amazing and beautiful so many top tracks to follow and amazing swimming holes

You can access the park through any of three entry points.

From Helensburgh to the park’s eastern entry, turn left onto Old Princes Highway/​State Route 60. Turn right onto Darkes Forest Road and continue along to the park entry at Maddens Falls.

From Campbelltown to the park’s northwestern entry, head south on Wedderburn Road, then turn right onto Minerva Road. Continue onto Lysaght Road, and turn left onto Victoria Road and continue to the park entry.

That is one of my favorite place to go for Sunday picnic,

Great park with lots to see. Hoping to explore further than just Madden falls

Stunning peaceful relaxung nature at its best

Loved the bush walking all the way to Minerva pool. It was very relaxing to sit by the water and feel the gentle breeze. Family friendly place but for little kids could be difficult to walk so far. Highly recommend place to visit at least once.
