Dundurrabin 9437-4S Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Northern Rivers Topographic Mapping | Dundurrabin, Blicks River, Nymboida River, Moonpar State Forest, Wild Cattle Creek & Nymboi-Binderay National Park | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Forested River Valleys of Dundurrabin

Discover the winding mountain rivers, towering eucalypt forests and secluded rural landscapes of the New South Wales Northern Rivers hinterland with the Dundurrabin 9437-4S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Dundurrabin and its surrounding country northwest of Dorrigo, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, forestry professionals, environmental researchers, conservation managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Dundurrabin district lies between the elevated Dorrigo Plateau and the deeply dissected river country of the Clarence Valley. Here, rolling grazing land gives way to steep wooded ridges, sheltered rainforest gullies and extensive native forest.

The map includes Dundurrabin, Blicks River, Nymboida River, Moonpar, Tyringham, Bobo, Tallowwood Mountain and surrounding forested catchments.

The settlement of Dundurrabin occupies a picturesque rural landscape along the Blicks River. Its surrounding countryside contains grazing properties, native vegetation, rural homesteads and winding roads connecting isolated settlements.

The Blicks River is a defining geographical feature. Flowing through the Dundurrabin district, it ultimately joins the Nymboida River, forming part of the wider Clarence River catchment.

The river and its tributaries create a complex network of drainage lines, steep slopes and fertile valley flats. These features are particularly important for understanding rural land management, water movement and natural erosion.

Nearby Dandarrga Landcare has undertaken riverbank restoration along the Blicks River, including the removal of invasive privet and honeysuckle and the replanting of native rainforest species.

The Nymboida River forms another remarkable geographical feature of the wider district. Its clear, fast-flowing waters wind through steep forested valleys, creating rocky rapids, sheltered pools and challenging whitewater sections.

The river passes through Nymboi-Binderay National Park, a significant conservation landscape protecting old-growth eucalypt forests, rainforest communities and important native wildlife habitats.

The park forms part of a broad corridor of protected forests descending from the Dorrigo Plateau towards the Clarence Valley.

Within the mapped district, Moonpar State Forest and Dundurrabin State Forest provide important examples of the region's forestry history, with management roads, wooded ridgelines and mountain streams.

Named local features include Moonmerri Creek, Glen Fernaigh Creek, Wild Cattle Creek, Black Bull Creek, Green Gully Creek and Tallowwood Ridge.

The map also identifies geographical landmarks such as Moonpar Basin, Chapmans Plain, Paddys Plain, Long Point, The Basin and Tallowwood Mountain, reflecting the variety of terrain across the district.

The surrounding forests contain tall eucalypts, sheltered rainforest gullies and habitats supporting native wildlife, including threatened forest-dependent species.

The wider region is also associated with historic timber harvesting, particularly the use of forest tramways and logging tracks during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and coordinate references for understanding this varied landscape.

Whether you're exploring forested river valleys, investigating rural property, studying the Clarence catchment or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Dundurrabin topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

The Dundurrabin district contains steep forested slopes, remote river valleys, creek crossings and unsealed roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall may cause rapid rises in the Blicks and Nymboida rivers, making crossings dangerous and forest roads impassable. The Nymboida River contains technical whitewater sections suitable only for experienced and properly equipped paddlers. Bushfires, fallen trees and forestry operations may restrict access. Some forest management tracks are closed to public vehicles, while rural roads may cross private property. Mobile reception can be unreliable. Always check current road conditions, national park alerts and river levels, respect property boundaries and carry suitable navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies, current access information or specialist whitewater guidance.
