Detailed NSW New England & Mid North Coast Topographic Mapping | Kangaroo Flat, Werrikimbe National Park, Mooraback, Rocky Waterhole Creek & Oxley Wild Rivers Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Remote Mountain Forests of Kangaroo Flat

Discover the rugged forested mountains, secluded creek valleys and magnificent wilderness landscapes of northeastern New South Wales with the Kangaroo Flat 9335-4S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Kangaroo Flat and adjoining mountain country between the New England Tablelands and the Mid North Coast hinterland, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, four-wheel-drive travellers, environmental researchers, forestry professionals, conservation managers, surveyors and emergency services.

The Kangaroo Flat district occupies a distinctive part of the eastern escarpment, where elevated tableland country descends towards steep river valleys and densely wooded ranges.

The landscape is characterised by mountain ridgelines, narrow spurs, deep gullies, rocky creek beds and extensive eucalypt forests. Its challenging relief makes accurate topographic mapping especially valuable.

The sheet includes country associated with Kangaroo Flat Road, the Mooraback access corridor, Rocky Waterhole Creek and neighbouring forested catchments.

One of the area's principal conservation landscapes is Werrikimbe National Park, which protects extensive mountain forests, cool temperate rainforest, elevated woodland and significant wildlife habitats.

The park forms part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, recognising the exceptional ecological importance of its surviving ancient rainforest communities.

The surrounding mountain country contains a remarkable transition between different vegetation types. Sheltered gullies support moisture-loving plants and dense forest, while exposed ridges carry more open eucalypt woodland.

Within the wider district, Mooraback Campground provides access to snow gum woodland, walking tracks and the historic Mooraback precinct. The nearby Mooraback walking track offers a short circuit through mountain forest.

The Platypus Pool walking track, also in the Mooraback precinct, provides opportunities to explore creek environments and observe native wildlife.

North of Kangaroo Flat, the country extends towards Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, renowned for its dramatic gorges, remote rivers and rugged mountain scenery.

The historic Youdales Hut lies within the Kunderang Brook area of Oxley Wild Rivers National Park and is approached through the Kangaroo Flat and Mooraback road network. It provides a fascinating connection with the region's pastoral and settlement history.

Nearby mountain waterways, including Rocky Waterhole Creek and associated forest streams, demonstrate how drainage systems have gradually carved the steep slopes of the eastern ranges.

The published Kangaroo Flat topographic sheet also identifies local tracks and features associated with the Jamberoo, Gunny Bag Creek and Bull Creek districts.

These named waterways and ridgelines help users understand the arrangement of the landscape and provide valuable geographical reference points.

The wider Yarrowitch and Oxley Highway region connects the mountain country with Walcha to the west and the Hastings Valley towards the coast.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks, vegetation and geographical reference information for interpreting the terrain.

Whether you're exploring the New England mountain forests, studying wilderness catchments, planning authorised forest access or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Kangaroo Flat topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

Professionally printed by Mapworld and available in paper, waterproof DuPont™ Tyvek® and laminated finishes.

The Kangaroo Flat district contains steep forested mountains, isolated creek crossings, unsealed roads and remote wilderness terrain. Heavy rainfall can make access roads boggy or impassable, while fallen trees, bushfires, fog, ice and severe weather may restrict travel. Access towards Youdales Hut requires advance arrangements, a booking and a gate access code, with restrictions on vehicles and trailers. Some roads are management trails or cross restricted land; their appearance on a topographic map does not establish public access rights. Mobile reception may be unreliable. Always check current park alerts, road conditions and weather forecasts, and carry suitable navigation and emergency communication equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for current access advice or emergency instructions.
