Detailed NSW Topographic Mapping | Olinda, Rylstone, Dunns Swamp & Wollemi National Park | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🌿 Explore the Sandstone Ranges and Forested Valleys of Olinda

Discover the remarkable sandstone landscapes, forested ridges and secluded waterways of the Central Tablelands of New South Wales with the Olinda 8932-3N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Olinda and the surrounding countryside east of Rylstone, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, campers, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts, environmental professionals, rural landowners, park rangers and emergency services.

The Olinda district occupies a distinctive landscape along the western edge of Wollemi National Park, where steep sandstone escarpments, wooded plateaus and winding mountain creeks meet the agricultural valleys of the Rylstone hinterland.

The mapped area includes Olinda, Rylstone, Ganguddy–Dunns Swamp, Mount Touwouwan, Mount Coolcalwin and the surrounding sandstone high country.

One of the region's most distinctive natural attractions is Ganguddy–Dunns Swamp, where the tranquil waters of the Cudgegong River wind between sculpted sandstone formations and forested slopes. The area is particularly popular with bushwalkers, campers and kayakers.

Nearby, Olinda Reserve protects a remarkable landscape of forested sandstone ridges and cliff-lined plateaus separating the Olinda and Capertee valleys. The reserve's rugged topography provides an important connection with the adjoining Wollemi wilderness.

The surrounding landscape also includes Kandos Weir, Rylstone Dam, Coxs Creek, Currant Creek, Beer Bung Creek, Never Never Creek and numerous smaller mountain waterways.

Distinctive geographical landmarks such as Rumkers Peak, Hanging Rock, The Rams Head, Long Cave and the sandstone ridges around Mount Touwouwan reveal the extraordinary variety of landforms found in this part of the Greater Blue Mountains hinterland.

The combination of steep sandstone terrain, forested catchments, secluded waterways and rural access roads makes detailed topographic mapping particularly valuable for understanding the countryside and planning outdoor activities.

At a scale of 1:25,000 (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides the detail needed to interpret contours, identify creek systems, recognise ridgelines and understand the natural geography of the Olinda district.

Whether you're exploring the sandstone landscapes of Wollemi National Park, planning a camping trip to Dunns Swamp, examining mountain catchments or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Olinda topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.
