Barrington Tops
Barrington Tops is part of the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales between Gloucester and Scone.
It was a difficult to access area, as in 1934, its existence was alluded to as being not traceable to any man made feature. However, access to and exploration in the area occurred much earlier.
Part of the area has been conserved as the Barrington Tops National Park and as the Barrington Tops State Conservation Area.
Invasive species are a problem in parts of Barrington Tops. Feral horses, goats, dogs, cats, pigs, foxes and deer occur in the area and control measures are undertaken by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Scotch broom infests of the National Park and biological control agents including the broom gall mite are being tested for their effectiveness.
