Livingstone National Park

Thirty kilometres south of Wagga Wagga, the national park and its adjoining state conservation area hold nearly 2,000 hectares of bushland. The multi-use Livingstone loop track is shared by walkers, mountain bikers, horse riders and birdwatchers, and spring turns on a wildflower display of orchids, Australian indigo and kangaroo thorn. Eastern grey kangaroos, swamp wallabies, wombats and goannas are the reliable sightings; threatened woodland birds, including turquoise and swift parrots, the prized ones. The basic Dam campground suits self-sufficient campers — a 4WD is recommended, particularly after rain.
