Boonoo Boonoo National Park (pronounced bunna-bunoo) is a hidden gem in northern New South Wales, just 26 km northeast of Tenterfield. Think of it where the granite from Girraween National Park and Bald Rock National Park meets the rainforest. Featuring wild rivers that have carved dramatic gorges with secluded rock pools and sandy banks.
The Boonoo Boonoo Falls 
is at the far end of the accessible part of the national park and is the main reason most come here, at least if you are not intending to camp.
We camped at the Cypress Pine Campground, one of several designated campsites, each with their own picnic table and a fireplace. The fireplace has a grill, flat plate, and a bar to hang things from that can be used for cooking. The grill and flat plate were very rusty and not a good idea to cook on but we used the grill to place our own cast iron plate on, and hung a camp oven over the fire from the bar.
A wood storage shed had a supply of free firewood to use, which is very handy. You are not allowed to collect firewood so we had brought some of our own, but with a 4-night stay we couldn’t bring enough for every night and would have bought more if a supply wasn’t available. The wood wasn’t the best firewood but it was good enough and we used some of our better quality firewood to help build some cooking coals.
Spring is a great time to visit Boonoo Boonoo National Park, with many of the native flowers in bloom. We noticed there were at least two species of Banksias but they bloom earlier in the year. There were the odd yellow Banksia still showing some colour, and we were surprised when we saw the only red banksia still in colour at the Boonoo Boonoo Rock Pools.
