Nattai National Park: has an area of 47,628
hectares (117,641 acres). The Park is situated on the Southern Highlands of
New South Wales near the village of Hilltop. Pristine bushland and wilderness
areas characterise this Park that protects Sydney’s water supply. There are
fire trails, within the Park, which makes for very easy bushwalking.
Starlight’s Trail is a walking trail that provides access to the lower areas
of the Park. Most of Nattai National Park is a trackless wilderness so great
care should be taken if you leave the fire trails or walking track.

tall shrub has attractive pale yellow brushes. Grevillea sphacelata is
another interesting inhabitant of the Park. This medium, spreading shrub has
