Oyala Thumotang National Park

Oyala Thumotang National Park jumps between thick rainforest, sloped hillside, river flats, and mixed wood and grassland. Majestic eucalyptus trees can be found throughout most of the park, and a number of swamps, lagoons, and other water features dot the landscape. The park's name roughly translates to "people of the river lands," which appropriately expresses the region's significance as the traditional territory of various indigenous groups. Today, it is mainly inhabited by wildlife, both terrestrial and aquatic, including turtles, crocodiles, frogs, waterbirds, and various fish species. Closed during the wet season, Oyala Thumotang National Park offers rugged outdoor recreation once the rains have let up. Entry fees apply at the site's campgrounds.
