Bladensburg National Park
Winton

Bladensburg National Park is a large, remote park protecting Mitchell grass downs and channel country. It is home to a wonderful variety of wildlife, including tiny mammals called dunnarts. Flat-topped mesas and sandstone ranges form a pleasing backdrop to the park's grassland plains and river flats. The park is important to the Koa Aboriginal people, and also contains reminders of the pastoral history of the area.

At the original homestead complex, learn about the early days of station life and the park's plants and animals. Camping is permitted at Bough Shed Hole beside Surprise Creek, where birdlife is prolific. Visit Scrammy Gorge for impressive views. Take the Route of the River Gums drive. Visit the stony Top Crossing, once used by horse-drawn wagons. Out there, the night skies are amazing - go stargazing!
