Mooball National Park is a national park located in New South Wales, Australia, 648 kilometres (403 mi) northeast of Sydney. It is nearby to the town of Mooball and is 10 kilometres south-east of Murwillumbah.[1][2] It is on the traditional lands of the Bundjalung people.[2]
It was established in January 1999 and covers an area of 1160 hectares and before this time it was managed by Forests NSW as the Mooball State Forest.[1][2]
It is one of the largest lowland rainforests in Australia, and is a refuge for several animal species, where it sits in the predominantly clear Tweed and Brunswick Valleys.[3]
