Whian Whian State Conservation Area

Created in 2003 to protect an area surrounded by Nightcap National Park.
This new park is home to threatened species such as the spotted tailed quoll, koala and platypus.
It is an easy 20 minute drive from The Run to the spectacular Minyon Falls.
Peates Mountain is part of the view from the Farmhouse.

Nightcap National Park

The park is located on the southern rim of the caldera of Mount Warning shield volcano.
Basalt and rhyolite lava flows from the volcano have influenced the vegetation communities in the area.
Warm temperate rainforest is found throughout the park on soil with a rhyolitic base while sub tropical rainforest is supported by nutrient rich basalt soils.
These are the soils which also characterise The Run.
Nightcap National Park has the highest annual rainfall in New South Wales.
The Nightcap National Park is famous for its dominant massifs, sheer cliff walls, lush green gullies and spectacular waterfalls, all relics of its volcanic past.

World Heritage

Almost 5000 hectars of Nightcap National Park was given World Heritage status in 1989 when it was added to the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia (CERRA) group.
The Mt Nardi and Protester Falls are easily accessable by car and offer breathtaking views.
The subtropical and warm temperate rainforest communities found in the park have links to the ancient supercontinent of Gondawana.
