New South Wales
A part of NSW’s timeless wilderness: Morton National Park. Stunning beaches backed by cathedral forests that stretch over the Great Divide and into the great open spaces of the wild west of the State. What’s not to love about New South Wales’ environment? Our Sydney Campaign Centre has a particular focus on protecting our unique Red Gum forests, controlling broadscale land clearing and making Cape York Peninsula a World Heritage Area. Newcastle is driving a campaign for increased protection of the State’s marine environments. Join us in protecting the wild places of New South Wales.
