World Heritage National & Recreational Parks

Uki is a staging point to the world Heritage - listed National Parks of: Wollumbin Mt. Warning,Nightcap Ranges, Border Ranges, Mebbin National Park and Mt. Jerusalem National Park which form the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia and include the most extensive areas of subtropical rainforest in the world. These parks are home to a rich and diverse flora and fauna that live no where else

Mt Warning was named by Capt. Cook meant as a warning to mariners. The ancient forests that occur within the national parks are a refuge for a multitude of plants and animals.  Birds are abundant and include the Woompoo Pigeon, Marbled Frogmouth and Albert's Lyrebird. For those less inclined to attempt the climb, the Lyre Bird Walk is a 500 metre stroll from the parking area to an elevated viewing platform looking out over the rainforest and Breakfast Creek. 

The Mt Warning region is an extremely significant cultural and spiritual place for the Bundjalung as well as Aboriginal tribes from further away. Out of respect for their law and culture the Bundjalung ask that you consider choosing not to climb.
