Toonumbar DamToonumbar National Park, (5750 ha), is located on the Richmond Range in far north eastern New South Wales.
The park contains two World Heritage listed rainforests, the Murray Scrub and the Dome Mountain Forest. These forest contain significant areas of subtropical and temperate rainforest and are listed with other nearby National Parks such as the Border Ranges and Lamington National Parks as part of the World Heritage Central Eastern Rainforest Reserve of Australia.
