Gibraltar Range is a national park in north-eastern New South Wales, Australia, 79 kilometres (49 mi) north-east of Glen Innes and 493 kilometres (306 mi) north of Sydney. The Park is part of the Washpool and Gibraltar Range area of the World Heritage Site Gondwana Rainforests of Australia inscribed in 1986 and added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007.

Birds

The park is part of the 366-square-kilometre (141 sq mi) Gibraltar Range Important Bird Area (IBA), identified as such by BirdLife International because it is a block of highland forest that supports one of only five remaining populations of the vulnerable rufous scrub-bird, as well as significant populations of green catbirds, Australian logrunners, paradise riflebirds and pale-yellow robins.[1]
